Lifetime Identification, Lifetime Protection

After implantation, you’ll complete a registration form with your contact details. This information is securely stored and linked to the chip’s unique ID, allowing your pet to be reunited with you if lost. The chip itself contains no personal data — only the ID number.

Registration with the microchip company is included for life. If your contact information changes, simply update your record with the microchip company.

We recommend having your pet’s microchip scanned annually at your veterinary wellness exam — a free service at our hospital.

Dog Microchipping & PA Lifetime Licenses

Dog microchipping in Hershey isn’t just a safety measure—it also makes your dog eligible for a Pennsylvania lifetime license. Every dog over 12 weeks old must be licensed. A microchip makes that license good for life, with no annual renewals.
