Microchipping Information for Dogs and Cats

Organizations like FIDO pet lost-and-found and adoption service in Prospect Heights recommend microchipping. Although not a tracking device, microchipping helps someone more easily find the owner in case the pet gets lost. All your registration data, the owner’s address, is stored on the miniscule device which is inserted into the animal’s shoulder tissue.  Prices for the procedure vary.
