Is Microchipping Required by Law in Phoenix, AZ?

While microchipping is not currently required by law, it’s highly recommended. Most shelters and veterinary clinics scan for microchips immediately when a stray pet is brought in.

Adding a microchip for your dog or cat is one of the most reliable ways to reunite with them if they go missing.

Yes. After your visit, you’ll receive instructions to log into your pet’s microchip account and keep your contact information up to date.
Whether you move or change phone numbers, it’s simple to update your details anytime online.

What Should I Do After Microchipping My Pet in Phoenix?

After your pet is microchipped:

• SNiP Vet will automatically register your pet’s microchip with the information you provide.
• Keep your contact info current
• Ask our team for help if you need assistance with registration

Our staff is happy to walk you through the process during your visit.

How Do I Know If My Pet’s Microchip Is Working?

The easiest way to check if your pet’s microchip is functioning is to ask your veterinarian or local shelter to scan your pet using a microchip reader. At SNiP Vet, we’re happy to perform this quick scan during your pet’s visit.

A working chip will immediately show your pet’s unique ID number on the scanner. If the chip can’t be detected, we may recommend replacing it to ensure your pet can be safely identified in the future. Regular scans are a good way to verify that your microchip for dogs or cats is active and properly positioned.
