Identification Tags & Microchips

Many lost pets are not returned because of missing or incorrect forms of identification. For your pet’s safety, we recommend using both an ID tag and a microchip.

An ID tag should contain your name, phone number, address, and pet’s name. When traveling, consider adding an additional tag with the contact information of a local friend or family member. Tags on your pet’s collar make it easy for a finder to contact you. Even if your pet’s tags fall off, a collar lets everyone know that your pet has a family.

Pets may slip out of collars or lose ID tags, and a microchip is the perfect back-up plan. Microchips are about the size of a grain of rice and are placed under your pet’s skin. Injecting a microchip is very similar to administering a vaccine, so no pain medication is necessary. When scanned, the microchip gives a unique ID number that is linked to all of your contact information. Virtually all shelters and veterinary clinics are equipped with microchip scanners to help lost pets return home.

ID tags can be purchased at our clinic during open hours. 

Microchips are only available during vaccine clinics, dental appointments, and spay/neuter appointments.

Schedule an Appointment

If you’d like to request an appointment for a spay/neuter, vaccine clinic, or dental exam please submit a request here:  Appointment Request

Please be aware that it may take more than 48 business hours to respond. We do have a high volume of requests. In order to be seen through our clinic, we require that your pet is up-to-date on rabies, heartworm test, and heartworm prevention and we ask that you email medical records to clinic@chesapeakehumane.org. If your pet is not up-to-date on any of these requirements, we can provide those services for you.
We require full payment in advance to reserve your vaccine appointment.

Thank you for your patience as we do our best to keep our staff and clients safe.
