Avid® FriendChip™

What is the AVID® FriendChip™?

Developed by a veterinarian, the AVID® FriendChip™ is the professional way to identify your pet and it's proven safe and effective. A tiny microchip that contains a persona, one-of-a-kind identification number distinguishes your pet as a special member of your family. The FriendChip™ is so tiny that it fits through a hypodermic needle. Just like a vaccination, it's injected under the skin of your pet where it remains safely for life. Everywhere your pet goes, the FriendChip™ is there. Real protection that can't fade or fall off.

How the AVID® System Works:

Identifying your pet is vital. With AVID®, your pet can't leave home without his identification. If your lost pet is found by a participating shelter, they'll check him for a microchip with a special scanner. When the shelter finds the chip number, they call AVID®'s 24 hour hotline at 800-336-2843. After a quick search of the PETtrac™ database, you, your veterinarian, or your alternate is contacted, and your pet comes home! Scanners are provided free of charge to any shelter that requests one.

What is PETtrac™?

It's the best way to reunite lost pets with their families. PETtrac™ is the global recovery network that has saved thousands of pets. Its sophisticated computerized Database maintains the information you provide to recover your pet. Best of all, this information will always be available because the Database is backed by Veterinary Medical Associations across the United States. Once your pet is identified with the AVID® FriendChip™, he benefits from PETtrac™'s safety-net of protection for the rest of his life.
