Pet Microchipping in Milan, NM
Simple, Safe, and Effective Identification for Dogs, Cats & Horses
A Permanent Way to Protect Your Pet
At Airport Animal Clinic, we know how devastating it can be to lose a beloved pet. That’s why we offer pet microchipping — a fast, safe, and reliable solution to help bring lost animals back home. Whether you have a dog, cat, or horse, microchipping provides permanent identification that can reunite you with your pet if they ever go missing.
As a trusted veterinary provider serving Milan, NM, and the surrounding areas, our experienced team is proud to offer dog, cat, and horse microchips as part of your pet’s complete wellness care plan.
What Is Microchipping?
Microchipping is a simple veterinary procedure in which a tiny, electronic chip (about the size of a grain of rice) is inserted just beneath your pet’s skin — typically between the shoulder blades. Each microchip contains a unique identification number that can be scanned by veterinarians, animal shelters, and rescue groups.
Once registered, this ID is linked to your contact information in a national database. If your pet is found, scanning the microchip allows the finder to quickly reach you and return your animal safely.
Is Microchipping Safe?
Microchipping is completely safe and virtually painless. The chip is made of biocompatible material and does not require anesthesia. It’s inserted using a sterile needle, much like a vaccination. Most pets barely react to the procedure, and the chip does not migrate or expire.
At Airport Animal Clinic, we use industry-leading microchip brands recognized by shelters and veterinary practices nationwide. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities.
Will You Need to Update the Microchip?
Keeping your contact information up to date is essential to making the microchip effective. After the procedure, our team will guide you through the quick and easy registration process. If you move, change your phone number, or adopt the pet from someone else, it’s important to log in to the database and update your details.
Rest assured, the chip itself never needs to be replaced or recharged — it lasts your pet’s entire lifetime.
Why Microchipping Is Important
Every year, millions of pets go missing, and many are never reunited with their families because they lack identification. Collars and tags can fall off or become unreadable, but a microchip offers a permanent form of ID that stays with your pet no matter where they go.
Microchipped pets are
- 2.5x more likely to be returned to their owners (cats)
- More than 20x more likely to return home (dogs)
- Quickly identified at shelters and veterinary offices
- Permanently linked to you, even across state lines
Adding a microchip is one of the most valuable things you can do to protect your pet’s future.
Microchipping for Horses
We also offer horse microchipping. Microchips help prove ownership, track breeding records, and meet certain travel or show requirements.
As part of our equine veterinary services, we can microchip your horses as we do with dogs and cats.
Don’t leave your pet’s safety to chance. With microchipping, you give them a permanent form of identification that works when you need it most.
