MICROCHIPS

 

Microchips help lost pets become reunited with owners.  Using a fairly large needle, a rice-sized pellet is inserted under the skin.  The pellet has a computerized code.  All pets entering animal shelters are scanned for chips.  The scanner picks up the chip number.  The shelter calls the national registry and finds the owner.

 

It is less painful to have chips inserted during anesthesia.  The Burlington County Animal Shelter has a low-cost chipping program.
