Pet Tech: Microchip Your Pet

5/31/2013

1 Comment

 
ID tags on collars aren't perfect. We put them on our pets in case of emergencies, but there are problems with that. Some pets are wily and crafty. They don't like their collar and will do anything to get it off! 'Break-away' collars are often ineffective for identifying pets since they will easily get lost. 'Pet-nappers' can easily take off a collar and ID tag. Microchips are an effective solution to those fears.

ID microchips, no bigger than a grain of rice, can be implanted by veterinarians into dogs, cats and even many reptiles. The procedure is relatively non-invasive and takes moments to complete - a lot like getting a shot. The device holds a number that can be scanned; this number correlates to your ownership information in a national database.

For a limited time, Washoe County Regional Animal Services is offering FREE microchipping for your pet. Although the procedure is relatively low-cost to begin with, some of us don't have the extra budget to make it happen. You can find dates and locations of this free service here: http://www.washoecounty.us/animal .

    Debra,
    Pet Sitters Plus

    I live in Gardnerville, NV and have owned my own pet sitting service since 1994. When I first entered this field there was not really anyone to turn to for help. Help on how to grow the business, no specialized forms to make life easy and no one to share the dos and the don'ts. No one to call. So I had to learn and create all my own stuff from scratch. I learned a lot of stuff the hard way. Well after 18 years, I have grown Pet Sitters Plus to well over 600 clients. I have created my own forms and have trained others in how to start, run and be a successful pet sitting service.
