SPECIAL SAVINGS ON MICROCHIPS!
The Cat Clinic purchased a number of microchips from our regular AVID supplier at a discount recently. Our regular price for the microchip, insertion, and lifetime registration through AVID is $60. But for this one time savings, we are making it available to your cat(s) for $29.95 if he/she has been seen within the past two years and is healthy. Just call, give the staff your pet's name, let them know you are interested in having your precious kitty microchipped..and they will arrange a time for you to come in. No extra charges, just $29.95.

What is 'microchipping?'
Permanent Identification For Your Cat
The microchip is a tiny computer chip which has an identification number programmed into it and is encapsulated within a biocompatible material. The whole device is small enough to fit inside a hypodermic needle and can be simply injected under the skin of our pets, where it will stay for the life of the animal. This provides a permanent, positive identification which cannot be lost, altered or intentionally removed - a safe, simple and inexpensive way to protect your pet against loss or theft.
How it Works The computer memory in the AVID Microchip contains a unique number - no two animals will ever have the same number. A radio signal is used to read this number through the skin of your pet. In addition to the number, the microchip generates a reliability check to guarantee that your pet's identifying number is read accurately. This all takes place in less than 40 milliseconds.
When a shelter finds a pet with a microchip they will call AVID. If the pet is registered with AVlD's recovery network, PETtrac, the shelter will be given the owner's name. If the pet is not registered, they will be given the name of the veterinarian who injected the microchip. The veterinarian will provide the owner's latest information. PETtrac is a global computerized tracking system for companion animals identified with the AVID Microchip. When you become a member, PETtrac can reunite your pets directly with you.
Why should you have your cat 'chipped?'
It only takes one time for a delivery person, workman, neighbor to leave the door slightly open and your cat escape. That's when you say, "I wish I would have spent the $30 for microchipping!"
JUST 'DO IT!'

Wouldn't you love a little angel in your home?
Molly came to the Cat Clinic via Dr. Bebko's youngest daughter who was visiting from Florida a few weeks ago. She was alerted to a kitten up a tree on a visit to Erie, and with the help of several volunteer neighbors, retrieved her from 25' up! She spent the night out there, but was none the worse for wear. She is approximately 4 months old, and comes spayed with all of her vaccinations and microchipping AND a one year of health care at the Cat Clinic at no charge! In addition, a photographer who is a Cat Clinic client, Heather Mull, will provide a free photo shoot for the new family! How can you pass this up! And she IS an angel! |
