Microchipping – Central Valley Vet Hospital

The Importance of Microchipping Your Horse

In the world of horse ownership, ensuring the safety and well-being of your equine companion is of utmost importance. Microchipping your horse is a crucial step in this process. At Lasers4Horses - Central Valley Vet Hospital, we understand the significance of microchipping and offer professional and safe microchipping services for horses.

Microchipping involves the insertion of a tiny electronic chip under your horse's skin, typically on the neck region. This chip contains a unique identification number that can be scanned using a handheld microchip reader. This number is then linked to your contact information in a national database, making it easier to identify and reunite you with your horse if they are ever lost or stolen.

Benefits of Microchipping

Microchipping provides numerous benefits for both horse owners and their beloved animals:

• Permanent Identification: Unlike other forms of identification, such as tags or tattoos, microchips are a permanent and tamper-proof method of identifying your horse. They cannot be easily altered, removed, or lost.
• Improved Horse Recovery: In the unfortunate event that your horse goes missing, having them microchipped significantly increases the chances of their safe return. Veterinarians, animal shelters, and equine organizations are equipped with microchip scanners, allowing them to quickly identify and contact you.
• Proof of Ownership: Microchipping provides concrete proof of ownership, making it harder for potential thieves to sell or claim your horse as their own.
• Compliance with Regulations: Some competitions, shows, and equine organizations now require horses to be microchipped as part of their registration and participation criteria.
