Here's why:
* Size: Microchips are incredibly tiny, usually about the size of a grain of rice. They are implanted under the skin, typically between the shoulder blades.
* Material: Microchips are made of biocompatible materials like glass or silicon, which are designed to be non-irritating to the animal's body.
* Placement: The location of the implant is chosen to minimize discomfort and avoid interference with the animal's movement or daily activities.
While the animal might experience a slight discomfort during the implantation process, the microchip itself is not noticeable once it is in place.
It's important to note that animals can't feel the microchip in the same way that humans feel a piece of jewelry. They don't have the same level of conscious awareness as humans.
Microchips are a valuable tool for identifying lost pets and providing essential information about their health and care.
