Avid Friend Chip 1-800-336-2843
Avid was developed by a veterinarian and is a professional way to identify your pet and it's proven safe and effective.
A tiny microchip that contains a personal, one of a kind indentification number distinguishes your pet as a special member of your
family. The microchip is so tiny that it fits through a hypodermic needle. Just like a vaccination, it's injected under the skin
of your pet where it remains safely for life. This inexpensive procedure can be done anytine and, best of all, protect virtually any
pet you love, even fish. Everywhere your pet goes, the Avid chip is there. Real protection that cannot fade or fall off.
Every two seconds a family pet of lost. Tragically, most never make it back home because their owners didn't identify them. Identifying
your pet is vital. With avid, your pet can't leave home without his identification. If your lost pet is found by a participating
shelter, they'll check him for a microchip with a special scanner. When the shelter finds the chip number, they call Avid's 24 hour
hotline at 800-336-2843. After a quick search of the PETtrac database, you, your veterinarian, your breeder, or your alternate is contacted, and your pet comes home!
Scanners are provided free of charge to any shelter that requests one. Over 17.000 scanners have already been distributed and lost pets are being
found every day. The dedication and commitment of shelter personnel makes this system work. They are directly responsible for the recovery of thousands
of lost pets. These shelter professionals are truly heroes.
Your veterinarian can insert a microchip in your puppy, or you can have it done by your breeder (if they do it) prior to the puppy leaving the breeder.
I have chosen to offer this service because I have a microchip in all my dogs and would like to see a microchip in all my puppies. Microchips are great.
I had a dog stolen from me about 2 years ago. The first thing the police officer asked me was "Was your dog microchiped?" I wish I could have told him
yes, but at that time, my dogs were not microchiped. Unfortunatly, I never saw my beautiful little Oreo again and cry about loosing her until today. I
feel safer now that all my babies are protected. If I sell an adult and he or she ends up in the wrong place, I will be contacted immediatly to rescue
my little friend. Shelters and experimental labs are places where my dogs will never end up at thanks to Avid. If a puppy of mine gets stolen at the airport,
I have a chance to recover that puppy if it is microchiped. Vets will often scan the dogs or puppies of an owner if they suspect foul play just to see if the
dog or puppy belongs to that person. For instance, if a show quality french bulldog is in the hands of someone that cannot afford to keep the
fleas off their dog and the dog gets hit by a car and ends up at the vets office. This would triger the vet or vet tech to scan the dog.
All the chips that I buy are registered in my name with Avid. Therefore, if one of the puppies I insert a chip into ends up lost or stolen and recovered, Avid will
immediatly contact me. I will immediatly contact the person that I sold the puppy to and let them know where their dog is. If I cannot get in contact with that person
because they did not give me an updated phone number for instance, that person can always contact me. This service is only $20 dollars and would cost more if your vet did
it. In some cases, it could cost twice as much. For an additional $15, I can register your pet in your name with Avid. Then, you would be the first contact in case of
a recovery, and I would be the back up in case you were unavailable. In other words, you can choose to have your puppy microchipped for $20 in my name or microchiped of $35
in your name. If you choose to have it in your name, I will fax or mail you a form to fill out. You will send it back to me, and I will send it off for you. You will
receive a certificate in the mail letting you know that your pet is registered. If you want this service, all you need to do is mention it to me, and it is highly recomended.
