As pet owners, we do everything we can to keep our furry friends safe and protected. We give them the best food, toys, and veterinary care we can afford. However, one crucial aspect of pet safety that is often overlooked is microchipping. At Little Landmines Pet Waste Removal, we believe that microchipping is a vital part of pet ownership, which is why we offer free microchip scanning for everyone in our service area!

What is microchipping?

A microchip is a small, implantable device that contains a unique identification number. It is about the size of a grain of rice and is inserted under the skin, usually between the shoulder blades. The procedure is quick, painless, and can be done by a veterinarian or a trained technician.

Why is microchipping important?
  1. Identification: Microchipping is a reliable way of identifying your pet if they become lost or stolen. Unlike collars and tags, which can fall off or be removed, a microchip is permanent and can be scanned by a veterinarian, shelter, or rescue organization to reveal your pet's identification number. This makes it much easier to reunite lost pets with their owners.
  2. Safety: Microchipping also provides an added layer of safety for your pet. If they are lost or stolen and end up in a shelter or rescue organization, the staff will be able to access your contact information and let you know where your pet is. This can help prevent your pet from being sold to someone else or euthanized due to lack of space or resources.
  3. Legal requirements: Some countries, states, and cities require pet owners to have their pets microchipped. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines or other penalties. This is not the case in Delaware, but check your local laws if you're outside of that area!

​At Little Landmines Pet Waste Removal, we believe that every pet should be microchipped. That's why we offer free microchip scanning. We understand the importance of keeping pets safe and reuniting them with their owners if they become lost or stolen. By scanning for microchips, we can help ensure that pets are properly identified and reunited with their families as soon as possible.  If you find a lost dog or cat and can't travel to a local vet, call us!  We will meet you or make arrangements asap to help you locate the pet's owner! Just another way we strive to be your local friendly backyard bomb squad and more!
