A microchip is a permanent source of identification that is implanted just beneath the skin. Veterinarians, shelters, humane societies, and animal control officers all have microchip scanners, so if a microchipped animal is found, it can be traced back to its owner without delay. The fee to insert a microchip here covers lifelong PFAH (local) and one year of online (nationwide) activation, after which the microchip company will send a bill to continue this renewal/update your information. If you opt not to continue the yearly coverage, your pet will still be activated lifelong in the microchip database.
