Paula Ready ( left ) and Myriam Armstrong ( right ) from Pet and Wildlife Rescue proudly donated a microchip scanner to Heather and Stephen Clifford, the creators and operators of Lost Pets of Chatham-Kent.
The technology of a pet microchip is simple and safe. No bigger than a grain of rice, a pet microchip is a radio-frequency identification transponder made up of just a few components encased within a slender capsule of bioglass. A microchip’s sole function is to store a unique ID number that is used to retrieve a pet parent’s contact information.
When a microchip scanner is passed over the skin of a microchipped pet, the implanted microchip emits an RF (radio frequency) signal. The scanner reads the microchip’s unique ID code. The microchip registry is called, and the registry company uses the ID number to retrieve the pet parent’s contact information from the pet recovery database.
This amazing donation will help bring more pets in the Chatham-Kent home even faster !
