How Much Does It Cost To Microchip A Horse
Introduction
This past week, I was talking with my mom on the phone and she asked me an interesting question: “How much does it cost to microchip a horse?” At first, I thought it was kind of weird. But after thinking about it, if you are preparing for a catastrophic natural disaster or other unexpected life event that can cause tragedy for your pets, then this is something you may want to consider. So I decided to look into what microchipping is all about, how much it costs to do it yourself and where you should take your horse in order to get one done as soon as possible!
The current price for a horse microchip is roughly $50.
The current price for a horse microchip is roughly $50. This can vary, however, depending on the veterinarian and their location. As well as that, the cost of shipping your horse and getting them microchipped will also affect how much it costs you.
The average cost of a microchip procedure is around $50 per horse; however they may cost more or less depending on many factors. These include:
- The veterinarian performing the procedure (some veterinarians charge more because they are more experienced or have better equipment)
- Your specific location (if you live in a rural area where veterinary care is harder to find)
- Shipping costs if necessary
It is a one-time cost!
Once you have a microchip in your horse, you never need to get another chip again. Most chips are sold with an indefinite life span and can be reused as many times as needed – this is a big difference from collars, which would need to be replaced every year or so.
One of the biggest benefits of microchipping is that it’s permanent! Once it’s in there, it’s not going anywhere; no matter how much your horse might try kicking or biting at their chipper (or whoever else tries getting their hands on him), there’s no way for him to remove it without cutting off part of his flesh in the process. That means that once he has been chipped and tagged, there’s no way anyone can steal his identity using his new ID number!
What is in the microchip?
The microchip is a small chip that is inserted under the skin of the horse’s neck. The chip contains a unique identification number, which will be used to identify your horse. This number does not allow for tracking of the animal or any other data collection other than that which you choose to share with others (more on this later).
The microchip itself is merely a tracking device that has an identification number assigned to the horse it belongs to.
The microchip itself is merely a tracking device that has an identification number assigned to the horse it belongs to. The chip itself is about the size of a grain of rice, and looks like any other piece of jewelry you would see on your pet. It is injected into the horse’s neck using a syringe and then attached to his skin with surgical glue until it falls out within a few months.
They are not GPS or tracking devices.
A microchip is not a GPS or tracking device. It allows the owner of the horse, who has access to the numbers on their tag, to be contacted if their horse is found and picked up by animal control or local law enforcement. However, it does not allow you or any other person with access to your microchip number to track down where your horse is at any given time.
Where do you get your horse chipped?
The most common places to get a horse chipped are your veterinarian or a horse microchip company. The latter option is usually much cheaper, but it can be more difficult to find a vet who will do the procedure.
If you’re comfortable with doing it yourself, you’ll need to purchase an anesthesia kit from your local veterinary supply store and follow the instructions carefully. You should also check out our article on how exactly to microchip your horse for more detailed instructions.
A veterinarian will be able to tell you exactly where to go.
If you’re worried about where to go for a microchip implant, your veterinarian can tell you exactly where to go. Your local vet will be able to tell you where to go for the chip implant and removal as well as for reading and replacement of your horse’s microchip/implanted ID system.
Why do you need your horse chipped?
If you have a horse, you should get it chipped. There are many reasons to microchip your horse and they all relate back to the fact that it helps reunite you with your horse if it is lost or stolen. It also helps solve the case of who stole it, who it belongs to and track your horse if it gets lost or stolen.

A microchip is a tracking device that’s implanted in an animal’s neck as small as a grain of rice—a veterinarian will do this while they’re sedated for routine vaccinations. This tiny chip doesn’t have GPS technology; instead, it uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to store information about each animal when scanned at specific frequencies by special readers that are available at most veterinarians’ offices or shelters around the country.

Hopefully this article has answered all of your questions regarding microchipping a horse. A microchip is a one-time cost that will help ensure that if your horse gets lost, they can be found and returned to you safely. The microchip is a tracking device with an identification number assigned to the horse it belongs to. It is not a GPS or tracking device like some people think it is, but instead just holds information about who owns the horse and what name they go by. Microchips are good for both show horses and working horses because if one day they get out of their pasture due to someone’s negligence or oversight, then another person could easily pick up on them when scanning through animals at auctions and other locations where large groups congregate together.”
