Have you ever lost a pet and wished their was a way to find and identify them?
Did You hear about 'Willow' the cat from Colorado, that went missing for 5 years. She was found a couple weeks ago, but not in Colorado....... 20th Street New York City. How does that happen?
" This is a sample micro-chip."
That's right a micro-chip, implanted in 'Willow' allowed the folks in New York to identify her.
" And, what we do with our particular reader is scan it, and then we end up with a number that the chip is registered to, said Angela Concannon, of the Animal Medical Clinic in Huntsville.
Angela is a big fan of pet micro-chipping.
" This is a permanent means of identification. It never goes away, it will always work. If you animal is ever lost and found, and taken to another vet clinic, animal services, or the humane society, they all have readers."
The process is quick and easy for everybody involved. Just a quick injection between the shoulder blades and your pet is tagged for life.
" It is a pretty inexpensive tool, it last for a lifetime, and it is the best way of being able to insure getting your baby back to you if they're lost."
Average cost, around 60 bucks for registration and the first year.
