Cheap Pet Insurance

November 23rd, 2009 by Kathy Alonso

There’s nothing worse than losing a beloved pet and we’ll do whatever we can to prevent anything from happening to them.

One problem with Microchips is that they can be expensive and require a vet to implant the chip onto your pet. Many may feel uncomfortable with even this simple surgical procedure as all surgical procedures carry some risk.

The problem with microchips is that they may not be completely reliable. One problem is that the person who finds a lost pet is unlikely to have a scanner on hand to read the microchip.

The fact is that even vets and pet shelters may not have the correct scanner to read a particular brand of Microchip.

For a microchip to be successful three conditions must be met:

1.the chip must have been activated and programmed with correct and current contact information

2.the pet must be found by or taken to a vet or shelter.

3.the vet or shelter must in turn have the scanner which is compatible to that particular type of chip.

These condition are unlikely to always be met. For this reason the Microchip should be considered a backup method of pet recovery. An ID tag should be considered a primary method of pet recovery and should be used in conjunction with a microchip.

When it comes to Pet recovery, ID tags are still the primary method of pet recovery and microchips are merely a back up.

Many people feel uneasy placing their personal contact information on their pet’s tag. Others are unhappy with the limited amount of space available on the tag which only allows for a name and phone number.

There is an answer to both of these problems: Return-A-Pet is not just a pet tag. It is a pet recovery system that provides your dog, cat, or any other pet, with an 800 number and a unique identification number that for a small one time fee includes service for the lifetime of the pet. When your pet is found, the person calls the 800 number and gives that ID number that’s located on the tag. The operator then use the contact information you’ve provided to contact you. In other words you have people standing by 24/7 ready to do whatever they can to reunite you with your pet. You can provide as much contact information as you like including various phone numbers and addresses. None of your information is given out.

There’s no reason to put all of your faith in a microchip. The more methods you use the greater the chances that you will be reunited with your lost pet.
