A Lifetime of Protection in One Quick Visit — Same-Day Appointments Available
Every year, thousands of lost pets end up in shelters — many without any way to identify their families. Collars and tags can fall off or fade, but a microchip provides a permanent, reliable way to help your pet find their way home.
At Del Paso Veterinary Clinic, we use ISO-standard microchips that can be scanned by veterinarians, animal shelters, and rescue organizations across North America. Each chip contains a unique ID number linked to your contact information in a secure national registry.
With over 80 years of serving Sacramento families, we’ve helped reunite countless lost pets with their owners through microchip identification.
The procedure is fast, safe, and can be done during any routine visit:
No Anesthesia Required Your pet stays awake and comfortable throughout the entire process.
Simple Injection Similar to a routine vaccine, the microchip is placed just under the skin between the shoulder blades using a slightly larger needle.
Lifetime Registration Included Your contact information is linked to your pet’s unique chip ID in a national database.
Instant Confirmation We verify the chip is working and can be read before you leave.
The entire process takes just a few minutes. Most pets don’t even notice it’s happening.
If your pet is found, any veterinarian, shelter, or rescue organization can scan the chip and contact you immediately. This simple step dramatically increases your chances of being reunited.
Permanent Identification Cannot fall off, fade, or be removed like a collar or ID tag.
Increases Chance of Recovery Lost and stolen pets with microchips are far more likely to return home. Studies show microchipped pets are 2-3 times more likely to be reunited with their owners.
Quick, One-Time Procedure No follow-up visits or maintenance required. One quick appointment provides lifetime protection.
Universal Compatibility Works with most major databases and scanners nationwide. Shelters and vets across the country can scan and read your pet’s chip.
Required for Travel Many airlines and international destinations require microchips for pet travel.
Proof of Ownership Microchips provide permanent proof that your pet belongs to you, which can be crucial in disputes or theft situations.
Microchipping is strongly recommended for all pets — but especially:
✓ Pets who spend any time outdoors Even supervised outdoor time poses escape risks.
✓ Dogs and cats who travel with their families Essential for trips and required by many hotels, airlines, and destinations.
✓ Pets who board or visit groomers regularly Extra protection during time away from home.
✓ Newly adopted pets Shelters often microchip, but registration may need updating to your information.
✓ Indoor cats They can slip out unexpectedly through an open door or window. Indoor cats are particularly vulnerable when lost because they lack outdoor survival skills.
✓ All puppies and kittens Microchip early to protect them throughout their entire life.
Even the most careful pet owners can experience an open door or a broken fence. A microchip ensures your pet always carries their ticket home.
