Why microchip? The York County SPCA encourages pet owners to have their pets microchipped. This provides a permanent form of identification for your pet in the event that they become lost and lose their collar or tags. A microchip (the size of a grain of rice) is implanted under the skin below the back of your pet’s neck. The implantation is painless and performed in just seconds. A scanner is then used to scan the animal and pick up the microchip that traces back to the owner.
Microchipping is now recognized in Pennsylvania as a valid identification for a lifetime license, which means microchipped dogs can be registered for a lifetime license, eliminating the need for an annual county license.
