Pet Microchipping in Eugene, OR

Permanent Protection for Your Pet’s Safety

Losing a pet is one of the most heartbreaking experiences a pet owner can face. At The Veterinary Hospital in Eugene, OR, we believe every pet deserves the best chance to find their way home if they’re ever lost. That’s why we offer safe, reliable pet microchipping services as part of our commitment to keeping your pets protected for life.

What Is Pet Microchipping?

Microchipping is a simple, permanent form of pet identification. A microchip is a tiny, rice-sized device that contains a unique ID number. This chip is implanted just beneath your pet’s skin—typically between the shoulder blades—and can be scanned by most veterinary clinics and animal shelters nationwide.

Unlike collars or ID tags, which can fall off or be removed, a microchip stays with your pet for life, giving them a permanent link back to you.

How the Microchipping Process Works

The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and doesn’t require anesthesia. Our experienced veterinary team uses a specialized applicator to gently insert the chip beneath your pet’s skin, similar to receiving a vaccine. Most pets experience little to no discomfort, and the procedure is over in just seconds.

Once implanted, we’ll help you register your pet’s chip with your contact information in a national pet recovery database. Keeping this information up to date is essential to ensure a fast reunion if your pet is found.

Why Microchipping Matters

Microchipping dramatically increases the chances of a lost pet being reunited with their family. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), dogs with microchips are over twice as likely to be returned home, and cats are more than 20 times more likely to be found.

At The Veterinary Hospital, we use HomeAgain® microchips, a trusted and widely recognized brand that offers universal scanning compatibility across the U.S. and internationally.
