A microchip is a safe, easy method of helping to ensure that you and your pet are reunited if he or she is lost. Veterinary hospitals and animal shelters across the country are equipped with scanners that will match your pet's microchip information to a national database to safely identify your pet. Here at Smithfield, we have simplified the process by making sure all of your contact information is automatically uploaded to the database that clinics and shelters have access to which means you don't need to fill out any additional forms. And most importantly, you will have access to that database forever so you can update your contact information as frequently as you need to completely free of charge.
