Microchips...
Microchips have arrived and are available for purchase with dog or cat adoptions. The cost is $15.00 and includes the microchip, entry into 24 PetWatch National Database and peace of mind knowing your new companion has permanent identification.

What is companion animal micro chipping all about?
A microchip is a rice gain-sized transponder, on which a unique number is embedded. The microchip is inserted using a needle between the shoulder blades of dogs and cats, in a relatively painless procedure, which takes just seconds. We estimate that approximately 5% of dogs and cats in North America have been implanted with a microchip. Traditionally, pets have been microchipped for three reasons:

1. By pet owners concerned that their dog or cat might become lost and, as a result, want to have something more than just a collar tag as a form of identification;

2. By breeders wishing to maintain breed integrity and want something more than a tattoo; and

3. By shelters, who want to improve the chances of lost pets being reunited with their owners, and to help track those pets that are adopted should they at some future date re-enter the shelter community.
