Pet Microchipping in Twin Falls, ID
Nobody wants to face an extended separation from their pet, which is exactly why we at Magic Valley Veterinary Hospital recommend microchipping for all our clients’ companions. With this form of permanent identification, pet owners can enjoy peace of mind knowing that, should their pet ever go missing, they’ll have a permanent ID to increase the chances of a safe return.
What Is Pet Microchipping?
Pet microchipping is a simple procedure that involves implanting a small microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, under your pet’s skin. This chip contains a unique identification number that links to your contact information in a national pet recovery database. Veterinary clinics and animal shelters can scan the chip to retrieve this information and help reunite you with your pet.
Benefits of Pet Microchipping
Microchipping offers several advantages over traditional ID tags and collars, including:
- Permanent Identification: Unlike collars and tags, microchips cannot be lost or removed.
- Increases Recovery Chances: Shelters and veterinary clinics routinely scan lost pets for microchips.
- Quick and Painless Procedure: The microchip is implanted using a needle, similar to a routine vaccination.
- Lifetime Protection: Once registered, your pet’s microchip provides lifelong identification.

Why Should You Microchip Your Pet?
According to PetFinder, over 10 million pets are reported missing each year, and one in three pets will go missing at some point in their lifetime. Microchipping significantly improves the chances of reuniting with a lost pet. If your pet is found, any veterinarian or shelter can scan the microchip to retrieve your contact details and notify you immediately.
When Should You Microchip Your Pet?
Microchipping is recommended for both puppies and kittens, as well as adult pets. The procedure is quick and safe, making it an excellent addition to a pet’s routine veterinary care. Many pet owners choose to microchip their pets during spaying or neutering, but it can be done at any time.
