Developed by a veterinarian, the Avid Friend Chip is the professional way to identify your pet and it is proven safe and effective. A tiny micro-chip that contains a personal, one-of-a-kind identification number distinguishes your pet as a special member of your family.
The Friend Chip is so tiny that it fits through a hypodermic needle. Just like a vaccination, it is injected under the skin of your pet where it remains safely for life. This inexpensive procedure can be done anytime, and can protect any pet you love - dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles, exotics, even fish! Everywhere your pet goes, the Friend Chip is there, REAL PROTECTION that cannot fade or fall off.
Did you know that a family pet is lost every 2 seconds? Many are found and taken to shelters, but, because of overcrowding, shelters are limited in the time that they can hold the pets to try to find their owners. In our area of Florida, and throughout the United States, many shelters have the Avid Friend Chip Scanner which quickly identifies the pet's identification number. The Avid 24 hour hot line is called, the PETtrac database is searched, and either your veterinarian or your alternate contact is alerted that your pet has been found and he can be returned to you.
Please seriously consider having an Avid Friend Chip inserted under your special pet's skin soon, enroll in the optional programs for inclusion in the Avid PETtrac database, and begin a life-long method of identification for your special family member who is not able to talk and identify himself when he is lost.
There are so many happy resolutions to sad situations when people use the Avid Friend Chip method to identify their pet.
