MICRO-CHIPPING
'resQ' Pet Tracking System
 


"It won't happen to me!"
It wasn't meant to happen, but somehow your puppy got loose and is too young to find his way home. Or your older dog wanders off, his or her aging senses insifficient to backtrack the trail and return. Or your cat fails to race through its cat door at the usual hour.

Do you realize how much your pet means to you?

Frantic with worry, you do all the things you are supposed to do. Calls and visits to animal shelters, ads in the paper, flyers to local verterinarians, and
LOST DOG-REWARD posters hung everywhere. As you search the neighborhood, you may see a lot of dogs and cats wandering, most without collars, just like the ones you see in the shelters.

Microchipping is the best way to help reunite lost pets with their owners. On average, eight to 10 million pets are lost in the United States each year. Only a fraction of those pets, about 22 percent, find their way home after they've reached a shelter. That is in large part due to a lack of pet identification.

There are different methods of identifying your pet including collar tags and tattoos, but neither provides a complete solution for lost pets. Collars can be lost, and tattoos can be altered, but microchips are permanent.

Not only is microchipping permanent, but it's also safe and convenient. As easy to administer as a vaccination, the microchip will lasts your pet's lifetime. In the United States, fewer than five percent of pets are microchipped; that small number is due in large part to difficulties in creating a national pet microchip standard. In the United Kingdom, where microchipping is a more prevalent pet safety practice, more than 47 percent of lost dogs make it home, compared to the 22 percent in the United States.

resQTM features a microchip that is approximately the size of a grain of rice, which is implanted into a pet using a single-use syringe. Each microchip contains a code that is unique and readable by scanners based on the ISO-standard 134.2 kHz frequency. When a lost pet arrives at a shelter, the resQ serial number can be identified and the pet can be traced back to its owner.

Dr. Diffey can help prevent these types of senarios by implanting a resQ microchip. It is a way to identify your pet and it's proven safe and effective. A tiny microchip that contain a personal, one-of-a-kind indentification number distinguishes your pet as a special member of your family.

The resQ pet tracking system microchip is so tiny that it fits through a hypodermic needle. Just like a vaccination, it's injected under the skin of you pet where it remains safely for life. This inexpensive procedure can be done anytime and, best of all, protect virtually any pet you love ... dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles, exotics, even fish! Everywhere your pet goes, the resQ microchip is there. Real protection that can't fade or fall off.
