How to inject a microchip into a dog?

Microchipping must be done at a clinic, since the chip is injected under the rear-neck skin and poor technique can harm the dog’s health.

Beforehand, distract the dog with toys or food to relax it. The vet then implants the chip with special equipment in just minutes.

The chip is the dog’s electronic ID, tracking and recording information; some have location and alarm functions to help recover a lost dog.
