Pet Microchipping
Every loving pet owner fears the possibility of their companion getting lost. Microchipping in Atlanta, GA, can ease these fears and provide peace of mind.
Protect Your Pet with Microchipping
Fortunately, by opting for our pet microchipping services at Intown Animal Hospital, you can give your pet a permanent form of identification that significantly increases the chance of being reunited.
What Is Pet Microchipping?
Microchipping is a quick and virtually painless procedure where a veterinarian places a tiny RFID chip — about the size of a grain of rice — just beneath your pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. Each chip contains a unique identification number that is linked to your contact information in a national pet recovery database.
When a lost pet is found and scanned at a veterinary hospital or animal shelter, the chip’s ID number can be used to contact you immediately. This permanent, tamper-proof solution works even if your pet loses their collar or tags.
Why Pet Microchipping Matters
Millions of pets go missing every year — and sadly, many never make it home. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), microchipped dogs are over twice as likely, and microchipped cats are more than twenty times as likely, to be returned to their families compared to those without chips.
Microchipping is:
- Reliable: Works 24/7, 365 days a year
- Permanent: Can’t fall off or be removed
- Widely Recognized: Standard scanners are used at animal shelters and vet clinics nationwide
- Affordable: A one-time procedure with lifelong benefits
Intown Animal Hospital proudly offers low-cost pet microchipping with compassionate care, clear guidance, and full support for pet owners.

Who Should Be Microchipped?
All pets should be microchipped, regardless of age, breed, or whether they live indoors or outdoors. Even indoor pets can slip through open doors or escape during stressful events like storms or fireworks.

- Newly adopted pets
- Pets prone to escaping or wandering
- Pets who travel or visit pet sitters or daycare facilities
- Senior pets who may become disoriented or lost more easily
