No anesthesia is necessary, and your pet will forget within moments that the pet microchip was ever inserted.
The purpose of inserting the pet microchip is so your dog or cat can be identified and returned, if it ever gets lost. Once your pet is microchipped, it is microchipped for life.
Most vets offices, SPCA's, humane societies and animal shelters have pet microchip readers. These universal readers can read all different types of microchips implanted into animals. So, if your animal is brought in to a shelter after being lost, the first thing the shelter usually does is scan for pet microchips.
There is a cost for installing the pet microchip in your pet, which can be done at any vets office. You then usually have to pay a few to register the pet microchip with the company that made the pet microchip.
The chip implanted in your cat or dog is just a numbered microchip that is part of the massive database o all pet microchips, and when you actually fill out your registration paperwork, you are claiming that pet microchip as yours and filling out the information that would be necessary to find you and return your pet.
