HAVE YOUR PET IDENTIFIED
Tips on having your pet Microchipped
It
is a heartbreaking experience when losing your beloved pets.
Many pet owners are now recognising that having a microchip implanted
in to your
pet is the best way to identify it. It gives you a complete
peace of mind and at these awful times of losing your pet you know your
pet can be reunited
with you quickly.
What is a microchip?
-
A microchip is a tiny electronic device, which stores
information about your pet, such at where it lives and who to contact if it becomes lost.
- A microchip, which is about the
size of a grain of rice, is injected into the loose
skin between the animal’s shoulder blades. This
procedure is very quick, safe and usually relatively painless, it is
no different than giving a standard
vaccination that your pets receive.
- The chipping process takes only
a few minutes to complete and can be carried out in
the comfort of your home, at whatever time that suit you.
- The chip is made out of inert materials
to avoid rejection by the body, has no power source
and has an anti-migration coating to avoid movement, once implanted.
- Each chip has its own unique ID
number. This is logged with AVID Pettrac Global Recovery
System, which is staffed 24/7.
- Once your pet and your details
are registered, you will receive a registration certificate.
Remember to keep this safe and up to date, so that you can easily be
contacted,
if your pet goes missing.
- The police, RSPCA, dog homes, dog
wardens, local authorities and vets can scan the chip.
The database, which operates 24 hours per day, will be contacted and
the ID number
will confirm your address and then you and your pet
will be reunited.
Having your pet fitted with a microchip could actually save your pets life.
Cats and Dogs do get lost so the microchip will help keep tabs on their safety.
Over 90% of lost pets are scanned when found, and those which have been chipped,
are reunited with their owners.
Your pet will be crying out for you
if it is lost, so have your pet fitted with a microchip and it will make
finding your pet so much easier and safer. Love your pet as part of your
family and your pet will love you.
