What is a Microchip?
A pet identification microchip is a small electronic device, about the size of a grain of rice. The chips are encoded with a number which can be read with a specially designed handheld scanner. The manufacturer of the microchip maintains a database containing the numbers of the chips that they have sold.
Animal control agencies and most veterianarians are now equipped with microchip scanners. In the event that a stray animal is found to have a microchip the manufacturer is contacted. If the owner has registered their pet's chip number, they be contacted immediately and their pet can go back home.
Microchips have reunited pets with owners from across the country, even after having been lost for years.
All Delaware SPCA pets are microchipped prior to adoption. Microchipping for non-SPCA pets is available for $25.
The Delaware SPCA uses AVID microchips and scanners.
