Yes, microchips are completely safe when properly implanted by a veterinarian or trained professional. Microchips do not run on batteries and last the lifetime of the animal. While it is possible for microchips to travel, this migration is not harmful to the animal. Microchips are coated with an anti-migratory coating to prevent this from occurring. If you have any additional questions about the microchipping procedure, please get in touch with your local veterinarian.
