OBJECTIVE
Micro-chipping
Micro-chipping is the most
reliable way that a pet owner can be reunited with his pet should that pet
become lost or if it and its owner become separated as the result of a disaster
or other emergency.
Each year millions of lost and abandoned
animals are taken in by animal welfare organizations across North America, of
these animals only 14% of the dogs and 4% of the cats (estimated figures) are
ever returned home. The major reason for failing to re-unite a lost pet with its
owner is because the pets are unidentifiable. Micro-chipping offers pet owners
the only truly permanent method of identifying your pet and linking the animal
back to you, the owner. If you want to improve your pet’s chances of getting
home in a lost pet emergency – micro-chipping is your best option.
