Microchipping
Microchipping is a means of permanently identifying your pet for life. If your pet is lost or loses its’ collar, your pet can still be traced back to you. The microchip is the size of a large grain of rice and is implanted, using a needle, under the skin between the shoulders. This procedure is as easy and as painless as a vaccination. Should your pet be involved in an accident, it will help to identify your pet quickly. If your pet is stolen, a microchip provides irrefutable proof of ownership.
Each microchip has a unique number. This number, along with information about the owner and pet, are added to a national pet registry. Most veterinarians and animal shelters have electronic scanners for detecting and reading these implanted microchips. If a lost pet is found, and the microchip is scanned, the registry is called and the owner is contacted.
We use the Avid microchip system. For complete Information on the Avid Microchip System, please visit www.avidid.com.
