OBJECTIVES
Micro-chipping is the most
reliable way that a pet owner can be reunited with his pet should that pet 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.
Delaware Animal Disaster Services holds
micro-chipping events throughout Sussex County. Animals are micro-chipped at a discounted rate of $20 per animal
and registered for you through 24 Hour Pet Watch, www.24hourpetwatch.com.
