Pet Microchip Identification Help Lost Pets Find Their Way Home
Did you know…
One in three pets will become lost during its lifetime.
According to the American Humane Association, only about 17 percent of lost dogs and 2 percent of lost cats ever find their way back home. That’s a sad realization.
Almost 4 million pets are euthanized each year because their owners are not found in time. Lost pets brought into animal shelters or animal hospitals are always scanned for a microchip.
Having your pet microchipped along with keeping the collar and tag information current gives your pet the best chance of being identified and returned to you if he or she gets lost.
Here’s a photo of a microchip implant in a cat.
According to the medical profession, the microchips are about the size of a large grain of rice. How they work is that they’re based on a passiveRFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology.
Why not schedule an appointment today to get your pet the microchip implant he or she deserves? There’s no surer way of pet identification than having a vet scan your pet for a microchip after its been found. Don’t put it off any longer. Call the nearest CareFirst Animal Hospital right now.
