WHAT: Prepare your pets before an emergency or disaster occurs. One in three pets become lost. Without identification, 90 percent will not return home. First responders, veterinarians, and animal shelter personnel who scan dogs and cats can detect the presence of a microchip. The resQ ® microchip contains a code that is unique and readable by scanners. The microchip code is registered to your pet for his or her lifetime with your contact information at no additional cost.

Collars and tags can become lost and tattoos can fade or be altered. Microchipping is not only permanent identification of a pet, it is also safe and convenient. A resQ ® Microchip, the size of a grain of rice, inserted under the skin with one injection, provides permanent identification for your pet.

Dogs or cats entering area shelters are scanned for the presence of a microchip. If a lost pet is identified with a microchip he or she can be quickly reunited with his family, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, through Bayer’s resQ ® recovery network.

During the Hurricane Preparedness Promotion, a rabies vaccination, tag, and the microchip with lifetime registration are offered for just $25.

WHEN: Every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. No appointments required.

WHERE: Animal Alliance Spay & Neuter Clinic, 608 Bayou Road, La Marque, Texas.

WHY: The resQ ® microchip by Bayer is the only ISO compliant microchip currently available in the United States. Only ISO compliant microchips are utilized in the European Union. Universal standardization of microchips will be required in the United States.
A Microchip provides a permanent form of identification with a unique number that cannot be altered.
