Each year, thousands of pets go missing, leaving pet owners devastated and uncertain about how to reunite with their beloved companions. The uncertainty of not knowing where your pet is or how to bring them back can create an overwhelming sense of helplessness. Sadly, this is a common experience for many pet owners. However, there is a straightforward, safe, and highly effective way to protect your pet and increase the chances of bringing them home: microchipping in Lynwood.
At Lynwood Dog & Cat Hospital, we strongly recommend microchipping as a vital part of responsible pet ownership. A microchip is a small device, no bigger than a grain of rice, that is inserted under your pet’s skin. It contains a unique identification number that is linked to a national registry. If your pet becomes lost and is brought to a shelter or veterinary office, their microchip can be scanned, allowing staff to access your contact information and facilitate a safe return. Unlike traditional collars or tags, which can be lost or removed, a microchip remains permanent and tamper-resistant, ensuring your pet’s safety at all times.
The procedure is quick, simple, and virtually painless. At Lynwood Dog & Cat Hospital, we are committed to providing your pet with the best possible protection and giving you peace of mind knowing your furry friend can be identified and returned to you if they ever get lost.
As a walk-in veterinary clinic, we recommend arriving early, well before our closing time, to ensure your pet receives care. We start accepting sign-ins at 7:30 am.
Medical cases are typically accepted until one hour before our walk-in hours conclude.
