2. A simple injection means a lifetime of protection! Did you know a family pet is lost every 2 seconds? Lost pest are a big concern and frustration for both owners and veterinarians. Shelters are overcrowded, and lost pest can’t stay there long.

3. ID Microchips Are tiny microchips that contain a personal, one-of-a-kind identification number. Developed to make a difference for all pets. Avoid the pain, worry and expense of losing a pet. It’s a Technology Miracle!

4. ID Microchips PASSIVE SMALL SIMPLE SAFE RELIABLE UNIQUE UNALTERABLE

5. How do ID Microchips work? Participating shelters will check the lost pet for a microchip with a special scanner. The scanner generates a low energy radio signal that energizes the identity tag to transmit its unique number

6. What about humans? The VeriChip was made by Applied Digital Solutions. The VeriChip stores six lines of text and is slightly larger than a grain of rice. It emits a 125- kHz radio frequency signal that can be picked up by a special scanner up to four feet away. VeriChip is also working on the development of an implant that will contain a Global Positioning System. Such a device would allow an individual with a scanner to pinpoint someone's position on the globe.

7. Opinions A 48-year-old cancer survivor, has more practical reasons for wanting the VeriChip: "If something happens to me and there's no one that knows anything about my medical history, any paramedic or hospital worker, if they have the scanner -- which hopefully everyone will have at some point –- will be able to scan all my information," he said. "It could save my life." Leslie, 46, said she was motivated by security concerns. “The world would be a safer place if authorities had a tamper-proof way of identifying people, she said.”

8. Until your pet learns how to use the phone, a microchip will help him find his way home!
