Why Microchip Your Pets?

Pet microchipping provides a permanent form of identification that helps increase the chances of recovering a lost pet. Unlike collars or tags that can break or be removed, a microchip stays with your pet for life. At Pro K9 Veterinarian in Richmond, TX, microchipping is a quick and minimally invasive procedure that helps protect dogs and cats if they ever become separated from their owners.

\

Permanent Identification

A microchip contains a unique identification number linked to your contact information, allowing your pet to be quickly identified if they are found.

Reliable Recovery Tool

Pets with microchips are significantly more likely to be reunited with their owners once they’re scanned at an animal shelter or veterinary clinic.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Great staff and great care for my dog. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and the visit went smoothly. The only thing I didn't love was that we discussed pricing for additional services before the veterinarian had seen my dog. I don't mind talking about costs, but I would have preferred for the doctor to evaluate my dog first and then discuss recommendations and pricing. Overall, it was a very positive experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We recently brought our dog to ProK9 for a fertility test, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we arrived, everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. The staff took such great care of our dog and made sure we felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. The facility itself was very clean, organized, and well-maintained, which immediately gave us confidence in the level of care they provide. It was clear that the team genuinely cares about the animals they work with and takes pride in what they do. We truly appreciated the kindness, attention, and expertise shown by everyone at ProK9. If you're looking for a place that provides excellent care and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend ProK9. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely return in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We were referred to ProK9 by a friend, and from the very first day, we knew we had found something special. I honestly can’t put into words how grateful we are for their kindness, honesty, and the genuine care they show. When one of our babies became seriously ill, we were scared and overwhelmed—but they didn’t hesitate for a second to help us. They made time immediately, welcomed him in, and treated him like he was one of their own. They carefully assessed his condition and recommended an overnight stay. That one night turned into two, which was so hard for us, but they made it a little easier by keeping us updated every step of the way. Knowing he was in such caring, capable hands gave us so much comfort during a really difficult time. We will always be thankful for the compassion and dedication they showed our family. I can not express  how much gratitude I have for Dr. Patricia Gross and her staff. Thank you again team for taking care of my bubbies.

Pet Microchipping FAQs

Microchipping is one of the most reliable ways to help ensure a lost pet can be safely returned home. The following answers explain how dog and cat microchipping works and what pet owners can expect when visiting Pro K9 Veterinarian in Richmond, Texas.

How does pet microchipping work?

Pet microchipping involves placing a tiny electronic chip under your pet’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades. Each microchip contains a unique identification number that can be scanned by veterinarians or animal shelters. At Pro K9 Veterinarian in Richmond, TX, the microchip is registered with your contact information so that your pet can be identified if they are ever found.

K

L

Is microchipping painful for dogs or cats?

Microchipping is a quick and minimally uncomfortable procedure similar to receiving a routine vaccination. Most dogs and cats tolerate the process very well and experience only brief discomfort. Our veterinary team performs microchipping safely during regular appointments, often alongside other preventive services.

K

L

Does my pet still need a collar if they have a microchip?

Yes. Microchips provide permanent identification, but collars and ID tags still play an important role. A visible tag allows someone to contact you immediately without visiting a veterinary clinic or shelter. At Pro K9 Veterinarian, we recommend using both identification methods to maximize the chances of a lost pet returning home quickly.

K

How do shelters and veterinarians find a microchip?

Animal shelters, veterinary clinics, and animal control officers use handheld scanners that detect the microchip under your pet’s skin. The scanner reads the unique identification number, which is then matched with the pet owner’s contact information in the microchip registry database.

K

L

Can I get low cost pet microchipping during a regular vet visit?

Yes. Many pet owners choose to have their dog or cat microchipped during a routine veterinary appointment because the procedure is quick and affordable. At Pro K9 Veterinarian in Richmond, microchipping can often be completed during wellness visits or other preventive care appointments.

What to Expect During a Pet Microchipping Appointment

Microchipping is a fast and simple procedure performed during a regular veterinary visit. The veterinarian inserts the microchip just under the skin using a sterile applicator. Once placed, the microchip is scanned to confirm proper placement, and we’ll assist you in registering the chip with your contact information. The entire process usually takes only a few minutes.
