Having your pet micro-chipped is a proven way to recover your pet successfully should they become lost. SPAY ILLINOIS will be hosting a $10 Microchip Clinic (includes registration) on Sunday February 19th from 10am-2pm at Pet Supplies Plus located at 8717 Ridgeland Avenue in Oak Lawn.
Microchips are safe, simple and permanent forms of pet identification designed to quickly identify lost pets and reunite them with their owners. It is estimated that over 10 million pets become lost each year and 1 out of every 3 pets is lost during its lifetime, while only 1 in 10 pets is found.
A microchip is no bigger than a grain of rice. It is small, sterile and safe. It requires no battery and anesthesia is not necessary. A microchip is a transponder that contains a unique ID code capable of being read by a hand-held scanner used by animal shelters, animal controls, veterinarians and law enforcement officials.
