Why Microchip your Pet or Horse?
I have been blessed with the addition of a puppy, Leo. I had a microchip put in under his skin at the same time he was neutered as part of the first year of puppy care. I chose the company Petlink for their one time fee, $42.00, for life-time coverage. The identity library of information is available online, 24 hours a day, seven days a week worldwide for the life of the animal. This is also a worldwide company, which is handy for anyone who travels outside the US with their pets or any animals.
The competitor company uses a microchip placed in the same manner but has a yearly fee to keep the data in an available library for retrieval. Est. $35.00. Most Veterinarians carry the yearly fee company because the company gives them the startup supplies for free. Petlink, has a start-up cost for equipment to the Veterinarian, & costs are made back as microchips are registered. The Petlink site has lists by State, of Veterinarians who carry the Petlink microchips.
