CHOOSING TO MICROCHIP YOUR PET
Do you love your pet? Would you want your pet returned if it were lost or stolen? Then you need a microchip! Every day veterinary clinics and animal shelters receive calls about lost pets. Now veterinary hospitals can safely and permanently identify your dog, cat or bird. A simple injection of a tiny microchip under the skin gives your pet A LIFETIME OF PROTECTION. Local animal shelters and clinics are checking stray animals for this device. It could save your pet's life.
The price for a microchip usually includes registration with the American Kennel Club's national registry or the registry of the microchip company. Home Again microchips come with an optional registration package that includes coupons, freebies and a pet magazine subscription. Which brand of microchip your veterinarian uses usually depends on what system is being used by humane societies and shelters in your area. Whichever brand is used, even if your pet is recovered in another state, if your pet is found they will be able to trace him or her straight back to you.
The cost for the microchip and the registration is usually very reasonable. Remember, it should last a lifetime.
