  2. How does the AVID Microchip work?

     

  3. How much does the injection cost?

    The fee is set by your veterinarian. We have heard fees ranging from $25 to $40 depending on the area of the practice and what other services are being offered. Many veterinarians provide a discount if your pet is identified while in for routine surgery or dental work.

    The fee is certainly less than the cost of trying to locate a lost pet. The cost of printing and hanging fliers, placing ads and rewards, calling shelters, and taking time off of work can be substantial. Not to mention the anguish and worry or worse...the heartbreak of being too late.
