Microchipping for Pets: A Lifesaving Step

Affordable Pet ID Services at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton

Losing a pet is one of the most heartbreaking experiences any owner can face. That’s why the Humane Society of Greater Dayton strongly encourages microchipping for pets as a simple, effective way to protect your furry companion and dramatically increase the chances of a safe return home.

What Is a Pet Microchip?

A microchip is a tiny device—about the size of a grain of rice—implanted just beneath your pet’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades. It contains a unique ID number that links to your contact information in a secure database. If your lost pet is found and scanned at a vet or shelter, that number helps reunite you as quickly as possible.

Unlike collars or tags that can fall off or be removed, microchipping for pets offers a permanent, reliable form of identification that stays with them for life.

Microchip Humane Society Services You Can Trust

Through our Humane Society Adoption Center, we offer cat & dog microchip services that are safe, quick, and affordable:

  • No appointment needed during regular business hours
  • The procedure is similar to a routine vaccine—fast and virtually painless
  • Industry-standard chips compatible with most universal scanners
  • Registration guidance and support included

Our team takes special care to ensure the process is stress-free for your pet. We can microchip your dog or cat at our Dayton Humane Veterinary Hospital, as well as during a wellness exam or a surgery appointment.

Who Should Get Their Pet Microchipped?

We recommend microchipping for pets in all situations, but especially if:

  • Your pet goes outside or is prone to escaping
  • You travel with your pet
  • You live in an area prone to storms or evacuations
  • You have an indoor pet—yes, they can slip out too!

Stay Connected—No Matter What

After the chip is implanted, we’ll help you register it with your contact details and show you how to update it if you move or change numbers. Keeping your contact info current is the key to the system working.
