Now you can easily protect your loved ones before it's too late.

What is the AVID FriendChip?

It's a technology miracle. 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 personal, 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. This inexpensive procedure can be done anytime and, best of all, protect virtually any pet you love...dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles, exotics, even fish! Everywhere your pet goes, the FriendChip is there. Real protection that can't fade or fall off.

How the AVID system works.

Every two seconds a family pet is lost. Tragically, most never make it back home because their owners didn't identify them. Identifying your pet is vital. With AVID, your pet can't leave home without his identificaition. 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.

Over 17,000 scanners have already been distributed and lost pets are being found every day. The dedication and commitment of shelter personnel makes our system work. They are directly responsible for the recovery of thousands of lost pets. These shelter professionals are truly heroes.

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. You can choose from two enrollment options:

Plan A: Multiple Pet Registry. One time payment of $40.00 protects up to eight pets.
Plan B: Single Pet Registry. Affordable lifetime protection for your individual pet is only $15.00.

By enrolling in PETtrac you distinguish your pet as a special member of your family.

How PETtrac benefits your family.

When your lost pet is found, you or you designated alternative will be contacted. Your pet will be reunited directly with you, his family. Now you can enjoy real peace of mind.
