“What is the AVID FriendChip?”

“It’s a technology miracle. Developed by a veterinarian, the AVID FriendChip is the professional way to identify your pet and it’s proven safe and effective. A tiny microchip that contains a personal, one-of-a-kind identification number distinguishes your pet as a special member of your family.”

“How the AVID System works.”

“Every two seconds a family pet is lost. Tragically, most never make it back home because their owner didn’t identify them. Identifying your pet is vital. With AVID, your pet can’t leave home without his identification. If your lost pet is found by a participating shelter, they’ll check him for a microchip with a special scanner. When the shelter finds the chip number, they call AVID’s 24 hour hotline at 1-800-336-2843. After a quick search of thePETtrac database, you, your veterinarian, or your alternate is contacted, and your pet comes home! Scanners are provided free of charge to any shelter that requests one. Over 50,000 scanners have already been distributed and lost pets are being found every day. The dedication and commitment of shelter personnel makes our system work. They are directly responsible for the recovery of thousands of lost pets. These shelter professionals are truly heroes.”
