Most pet owners quickly find that their animals become important members of their families. The difference between our human family members and animal family members is that our pets cannot ask for help when they are lost.
Losing a pet can be devastating for a family. In fact, it is every pet owner’s worst nightmare. However, with microchips, you can have some peace of mind. If you are doing an internet search for “Pet Tracker Microchip Riverview FL,” you will find us at the top.
Pet GPS Microchip Options
A popular method for making your pet permanently identifiable is an animal microchip. These chips use RFID technology (radiofrequency identification). This does not require a power source, and the tiny chips are about the size of rice kernels.
The chips are implanted via injection directly beneath the surface of an animal’s skin near the back of the neck. When an animal care specialist runs a handheld scanner over the pet’s skin, the chip provides just enough power to allow the chip to transmit identifying information.
Who Uses Microchip Scanners?
Most animal care organizations have the capability to use pet GPS microchip scanners, including the following.
- Rescue groups
- Animal shelters
- Pounds
- Animal control officers
Why It is Important to Use a Microchip
You can use other tools to identify your dog, including a collar with a nametag. However, these can become lost or even intentionally removed if someone steals your pet. Moreover, an implanted microchip is permanent.

Also, animal chip methods protect your security and privacy. The chips contain a personal identification number, not your name, phone number, or address. The data is linked in a third-party database to your pet’s medical records.
Does a Pet GPS Tracker Hurt My Pet?
The implantation of the microchip is very safe and virtually painless. Regarding rejection or tissue reaction, these issues happen rarely.
