Australian Labradoodles in Pennsylvania will have your labradoodle puppy microchipped at 6 weeks of age, by our Veterinarian.

Microchipping has been a valuable tool for pet owners since 1989, and is a secure way of identifying your pet. Most animal shelters, rescues, and Veterinarian offices have the capabilities of utilizing the microchip network.

The microchip is the size of a grain of rice encased in a biocompatible glass (the same as used in human pacemakers), to prevent rejection from the animals body. Inserted in the loose skin of your labradoodle puppy between the shoulder blades, by our Veterinarian, it is no more painful then routine vaccines, and administered the same way. It is permanent, and can not be removed, or altered.

Each chip has its own unique number which is logged in to the international databank. The puppy’s family registers their personalized information in relationship to their puppy and when received by the registry company, will be vital in helping to identify your pet. A scanner is passed over the microchip and the low frequency radio wave created by the scanner will activate the chip, allowing your pet’s information is to be visualized on a small screen.

Leashes, fences, and closed doors would seem like enough to protect your pet, but accidents do happen. Although there is no guarantee that this technique will work 100% of the time, technology of the microchip device has greatly increased our chances of having our pets returned to us safely. It is also important to know that Research facilities will NOT accept any animal that has a tattoo or microchip.
