In this way, if a shelter picks up the animal, the owner will be contacted directly without going through the breeder or veterinarian. Animal shelters and animal control officers have been educated and informed about microchip identification and how it works. The majority have universal AVID scanners on hand and routinely scan lost pets. Once a microchip is located in an animal, the appropriate steps are taken. If the animal is not registered, they will be given the name of the veterinarian or the breeder who injected the microchip.
Most breeders inject the chip between the ages of five and eight weeks of age.
Of course, the injection can also be done at any time after that. You will have no problem with migration if you follow our instructions. AVID microchips are sealed with a special smooth coating. This coating, once in contact with body fluids and skin tissue, helps the microchip stay where you put it. When the chip is properly implanted deeply under the skin, no one will be able to locate the chip by touch, even in tiny breeds.
