Microchipping provides a permanent, reliable way to identify your pet if they ever get lost. It dramatically increases the chances of a safe return home.

Note: Microchipping can be added to a wellness exam for an additional fee beyond the standard exam cost.

Our team provides professional dog microchipping and cat microchipping in a calm, clinical environment. Here’s what sets us apart:
Lost collars and tags can fail, but a microchip lasts a lifetime. Using RFID technology, a microchip links directly to your contact information, giving you peace of mind that your pet can always be returned safely.
You don’t need a separate appointment. Microchipping can be added to a wellness check, dental cleaning, or vaccination visit. This saves time while ensuring your dog or cat receives complete care in one visit.
We understand that pets can get anxious in clinical settings. Our clean, quiet clinic helps reduce stress, and the microchipping procedure is quick and minimally invasive. Most pets barely notice the process, making it comfortable for both them and you.
When a lost pet is scanned, the microchip provides direct access to your up-to-date contact information. This simple step significantly increases the likelihood of your furry friend returning home safely, especially if they wander far from familiar surroundings.
Here’s how we handle pet microchipping from start to finish at our Spring Valley clinic:
Every appointment begins with a complete health check. Our veterinarians ensure your pet is healthy and ready for microchip placement. This step protects your pet and ensures the procedure is safe.
The microchip, roughly the size of a grain of rice, is inserted under the skin between the shoulder blades using a sterile, specialized needle. The process is quick, precise, and causes minimal discomfort.
After placement, we scan the microchip to ensure its active and properly positioned. Our team monitors your pet’s response and ensures they remain relaxed throughout the procedure.
Finally, we guide you through linking the microchip ID to your contact information. Keeping this information up to date ensures that, if your pet is ever lost, they can be returned quickly and safely.
At Humane Vet Hospital of San Diego in Spring Valley, every wellness exam includes a full nutritional review. We assess your pet’s food intake, weight, and daily habits to ensure a healthy, sustainable diet.
We begin by discussing your pet’s current diet, any food sensitivities or allergies, and overall health. This information helps us tailor recommendations to your pet’s specific needs.
Our team develops a nutrition strategy that fits your pet’s age, energy level, breed, and medical history whether maintaining wellness or managing a health condition.
If your cat or dog is over- or underweight, we design a feeding plan and provide activity tips to safely reach their ideal body condition.
When necessary, we recommend prescription foods or supplements to support chronic conditions such as joint issues, allergies, or digestive concerns.
