3. Get Chip Inserted
The microchip is injected under the skin behind the shoulder blades using a syringe (comes in the chip packet). It is no more painful than a typical injection, although the tip of needle is slightly larger than those used for injection. No anaesthesia required for the procedure. The whole process takes just a couple of seconds. Make sure to read the chip right after injection using a microchip scanner. A microchip can be implanted during a routine veterinary office visit.
