Protect Your Patients

Many pet owners believe that losing their pet just won't happen to them. But mishaps do occur, the door is left ajar, the gate is left unlatched or a hurricane, tornado, or fire can ravage their community. Each year an estimated 6 to 8 million pets enter shelters (Source: HSUS) and although visual identification such as a collar or custom tag are the easiest solutions to establish identification most pets have no form of identification. Did you know that more pets die because their owners didn't identify them than from all infectious diseases combined? Shelters do their very best to locate owners, but if your pet has no form of identification, there's not much they can do. Pet owners do what their veterinarian recommends. Recommend a FriendChip™ — it could save your patient's life.
