The AVID Microchip...Don't Let Your New Puppy Leave Home Without It
Statistics show one out of three family pets will be lost. Unfortunately only 10% of lost pets are identified. Veterinarians, Groomers, and Trainers agree that AVID Microchips are the identification method of choice. A simple and safe injection gives your new puppy permanent identification!!!
What Is The AVID Microchip? The A.V.I.D. stands for American Veterinary Identification Devices. The AVID® microchip is a tiny computer chip which has an identification number programmed into it. The chip is encased in a smooth, strong biocompatible glass, and is small enough to fit into a hypodermic needle. Once an animal is injected with the chip, he can be identified throughout his life by this one-of-a-kind number. His identification cannot be lost, altered or un-intentionally removed.
How Does The AVID Microchip Work? The microchip is generally injected deeply under the skin between the shoulder blades. A special scanner is used to send a radio signal through the skin of the animal to read the chip. The animal feels nothing as the scanner is passed over him. The microchip sends it’s number back to the scanner. It appears in the viewing window as, for example, AVID 220*609*321. No two animals will ever have the same number.
Who is qualified to inject the AVID® microchip? Microchips go into the animal by way of standard injection. Those familiar with the delivery systems for vaccines and regular shots will have no problem injecting the chip. Complete step-by-step instructions are included with all products.
How Old Does My Puppy Have To Be? Puppies or Dogs of any age can be injected with the AVID Microchip. Puppies are usually identified during their initial vaccination series or at the time of placement with their new families.
My Puppy Never Leaves My Yard, Why Should I Microchip? It only takes a second for the mailman, gardner, meter reader, neighbor or visitor to leave the gate or front door open for a split second. Pet theft is also a daily occurrence. Purebred and Designer puppies/dogs are often quite valuable and are stolen for many reasons. Most shelters destroy the majority of pets they impound. They are destroyed only because they are not identified.
Does the procedure hurt the animal? Although the microchip needle is larger than a typical vaccine needle, your animals will react the SAME way to this shot as they do to any other, which usually is not at all.
Is Sedation Required To Implant The AVID Microchip? NO!!! Injecting the AVID Microchip is just like any other injection or vaccination. There is minimal to no discomfort with the procedure (like a basic shot).
Could My Puppy Be Allergic To The AVID Microchip? The AVID Microchip is inert and bio-compatible, which means that there is virtually no chance of the body developing an allergy or trying to reject the AVID Microchip after being placed.
How Do I Know My Local Shelter Will Check For The AVID Microchip? AVID and local veterinarians, Animal Shelters, Human Societies, etc, all scan every animal that comes into the shelter, and again prior to euthanasia or adoption.
If My Puppy Is Found, How Does The Shelter Contact Me? When a shelter finds a pet with an AVID Microchip they will call AVID. If the pet is registered with AVID's recovery network, PETtrac, the shelter will be given the owner's name. If the pet is not registered, they will be given the name of the veterinarian or breeder who implanted the microchip. The veterinarian or breeder will provide the owner's latest information.
What Happens If I Am On Vacation And My Pet Is Found At A Shelter? PETtrac maintains your "alternate contact" information. Your puppy/dog would be released to your authorized representative to ensure it's well-being. Rest assured, your pet is protected, even when you are not at home, no matter what the reason. Remember, too, AVID has the name or breeder who implanted the microchip and either would be happy to help in this type of situation.
How Long Does The AVID Microchip Last? Once injected under the skin of your puppy, the AVID Microchip becomes encased by a thin layer of protein which anchors it in place for the rest of the life of your pet. It does not pass through or out of the body. There is no power supply or moving parts to wear out. It is expected to last far beyond the life span of your new puppy, usually about 25 years.
How Much Does The Microchip Cost? Prices vary between breeder's, veterinarians, trainers, etc. Also a $19.75 lifetime registration fee will need to be sent to AVID to register your puppy in AVID's Nationwide Recovery System, PETtrac. This fee is paid only ONCE during the lifetime of your puppy. Registration is now available online.
