Cat and Dog Microchipping in Nashua and Hudson, NH

Every year, thousands of pets go missing, but sadly, not all of them are reunited with their owners. One of the most common reasons for this is lack of sufficient identification. While tags and collars are great methods of identification, they’re not permanent. A microchip IS permanent. All Pets Veterinary Hospital offers cat and dog microchipping in Nashua and Hudson, NH to increase the chances of a happy reunion for lost pets. This safe, painless procedure can be completed in minutes and can give you peace of mind when your pet is alone outside or any other time that you’re separated from him.

How Does Cat and Dog Microchipping Work?

A pet microchip is a tiny device that’s about the size and shape of a grain of rice. It’s injected just beneath the surface of a pet’s skin, near the shoulder blades, using a hypodermic needle. The procedure is comparable to a vaccination, and because it’s such a fast and easy procedure, it can be done during your pet’s wellness exam, surgery, or other visits.

Each microchip is encoded with a unique ID number that, when scanned by a specific device, can be linked to a pet owner’s contact information. Contrary to popular belief, a microchip does not have GPS capabilities and can only serve its purpose if it’s scanned. Fortunately, most animal shelters and veterinary hospitals are equipped with microchip scanners.

Does Microchipping Really Help Pets Return Home?

The short and simple answer is yes! There are many studies that indicate that microchipped pets are returned to their owners more than twice as often as those without microchips. The following is a list of pet microchipping statistics by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), based on a 2009 study of more than 7,700 stray animals:

Microchipped dogs were returned 52.2% of the time
Dogs without microchips were returned 21.9% of the time
Cats with microchips were returned 38.5% of the time
Cats without microchips were returned 1.8% of the time

Whether you’d like to take extra precaution, or your pet likes to take that occasional stroll on his own, a microchip is a must! If you would like more information on microchipping, or if you’re ready to make an appointment, feel free to call us at 603-882-0494.

We transferred our dogs over to All Pets after our old vet was bought out by Banfield and one of my friends recommended that we go to All Pets. I love them! So patient with us and took the time to explain everything and listen to us. Thank you!

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I felt my kitten was very taken care of and shown extra love. Dr.Grasso was very helpful with answering any questions I had and I did have quite a few. She made me feel like she really cared about Piper and even my cat at home that she has never meet. Thank you all for loving Piper just as much as we do!

I am very pleased with all of the services provided to my kitties, Kiki and Monkey, for the past 5 years. And during and after Kiki’s recent procedure, Dr. Altobelli and staff put me completely at ease. I would highly recommend All Pets to all pet owners for all their pets’ needs! Thank you for your kindness and great service!

Dr. Kilgore and the entire staff are the best. They are my third try at an exotic avian vet for my boy Tango a MaCaw. They are the best. They are Tango approved.

Our dog recently had to undergo xrays with sedation. We have never been through something like that, and every employee we encountered was extremely helpful and caring. We were offered an appointment as soon as they could get us in, which was really appreciated. Dr. Emily took so much time to discuss the results of the xrays, her plan of care, and answered every question we had. They also called the next day to see how our dog was doing. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring place to take their pets.

- Heather M.

All Pets saw my dog quickly and did everything they could for him. I’m so incredibly thankful for them, especially since they cared for him while I was out of the country. Knowing he was in their hands made the situation less terrifying.

My priority is to give my little girls all the love and care I can to the very best I know how. Although it is an hour away and there are closer vets to my home, I am so grateful for the amount of love, care, time and knowledge that you all have given to me and Winni and Willo. The 3 of us agree it is 100 % worth the trip. Thank you all for your excellent care.

My dog is not the easiest by any means when it comes to going to the vet. He hates it. But the Drs and staff are always so great and understand what they are up against and handle it with professionalism and extreme care. Everyone is wonderful and always helpful. Most of all, very understanding and always with a smile. Thank you everyone at all pets for being who you are and for doing what you do. Even under difficult circumstances. We appreciate you to the fullest. :)
