HOUSTON -- Funny Fur pet boutique and West Alabama Animal Clinic wants to help give pet owners peace of mind and extra level of protection by offering discounted microchipping with lifetime registration. The event will be held on Saturday, March 21st from 1:00pm to 3:00pm at the Funny Fur store in River Oaks located at 3268 Westheimer Road in Houston.
In a pets’ unexpected disappearance or separation, having both identification tags and microchip can be crucial to helping them returned home. Collars and identification tags can fall off and be lost. Microchipping your pet gives them a permanent identification that cannot fall off, be removed, fade from wear, or become hard to read. Many dogs and cats are lost each year, unable to be returned, because no identification was found and most end up in shelters. These animals are put into a system waiting to be rescued and searching can be difficult for owners.
The microchip, which is about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted by the veterinarian or veterinary technician below the skin at the back of the neck between the shoulder blades of the animal. Lost animals and pet companions found with a microchip have a greater chance of returning home. Animal shelters and rescues, animal control officers and veterinarians can easily scan and get the contact information of owners, and reunite pets and owners. This is the most permanent and safest solution when it comes to lost pets. In just minutes an animal shelter can scan and read the animal’s information and contact the owners as soon as found.
If your pets are not microchipped, bring them in with you to the Funny Fur microchip event to learn more about microchipping. West Alabama Animal Clinic's team will be there to answer questions and microchip on site.
