A Microchip is a permanent electronic identification device with a unique ID number that is about the size of a grain of rice.
Is it not a GPS location or tracking device
Where
The Microchip is easily placed in the scruff of your pet similar to a vaccination injection
When
Most pets are microchipped at the time of their spay or neuter surgery for convenience
Microchips can be placed at any time, at any age and is highly recommended if travelling with your pet
Who
Any beloved pet that you cannot bare to be separated from
Recommended for social pets who go off leash, doggie day care, the kennel or the groomers
Recommended for dogs who accompany their owners on hikes and camping
Why
Your pet cannot be re-united with you unless they can be identified
Losing your pet can be a traumatic and potentially tragic experience
The Microchip allows your pet to be identified even if they lose their collar and ID tags
Unlike tattoos, the Microchip cannot be tampered with or altered
Quick and simple procedure
Inexpensive
A lost pet arriving at a shelter or veterinarian's clinic can easily be scanned, the ID number retrieved, and a phone call
later, be reunited with you.
You must REGISTER your pet's Microchip online and remember to update your address if you move.
