Pet microchips
Did you know that it is mandatory to microchip all pet cats and dogs in Illinois? Microchips are electronic identification devices that are implanted under an animal's skin. Developed by a veterinarian, the microchip is safe and permanent, and it takes only seconds to administer. The tiny injectable "chip" contains a one-of-a-kind identification number and is recognized worldwide. For more information on the microchip, visit www.avidmicrochip.com/products.htm.
