Microchipping
Mount Dora

A Simple Step for a Lifetime of Security

One of the most important things you can do to protect your pet is to ensure they can always find their way home. Microchipping is a safe, permanent, and cost-effective way to increase the chances of being reunited with your pet if they ever get lost. About the size of a grain of rice, the microchip is quickly and safely implanted under your pet’s skin—typically between the shoulder blades—during a standard office visit.

Each chip contains a unique ID number that’s linked to your contact information in a national pet recovery database. Veterinary hospitals, shelters, and animal control facilities across the country are equipped with scanners that can read this number and help identify your pet. Unlike collars and tags, a microchip can’t fall off or be removed.

At Mount Dora Veterinary Hospital, we offer microchipping Mount Dora residents can trust, with high-quality microchips that are compatible with most national registries. We also assist you with registration and help ensure your contact information stays up-to-date for lifelong protection.
