MICROCHIPPING YOUR PET
Microchipping can protect your puppy if he or she
is lost or stolen.
A microchip looks like a grain of uncooked rice. It is implanted through a needle under the skin between the shoulder blades.
Because each microchip has its own identifying code, this unique code serves as a permanent method of identifying your pet.
A hand-held scanner displays the microchip's code. Many veterinarians, animal control officers, and animal rescue organizations
now have these scanners to help owners recover their lost or stolen pets.
This service can
be performed by a licensed veterinarian prior to shipping when
you purchase your puppy fromFlorence Morning Star Kennel. AKC Companion Animal Recovery Program
