FAQ'S

Q. What is an AVID Microchip?

A. The AVID microchip is a sophisticated computer chip which is pre-programmed with a totally unique identification number. The device is encapsulated within a biocompatible glass material, which means that there is virtually no chance of the body developing an allergy or trying to reject the microchip, after being properly implanted.The microchip contains no battery or power source, and is powered by the microchip scanner.

Q. How does it work?

A. When a vet, humane society, or rescue center scans a found Collie, the unique microchip number is displayed to them using a special scanner. With one simple, free phone call to AVID's 24 hr hotline, they can verify who you are and release your contact details. Your Collie can then be reunited directly with you. Now you can enjoy real peace of mind!

Q. How long does the Microchip last?

A. The microchip itself has no power supply to replace or moving parts to wear out, and therefore it can be expected to last decades, well beyond the lifespan of your Collie.

Q. Why should I get my Collie Microchipped?

A. Microchips provide a permanent, non-changeable or removable means of identification that will not be lost over time, as can occur with tags and tattoos. Owner information is immediately accessible, ensuring the rapid return of your lost Collie, avoiding delays, which can be found with other methods of identification.

Q. Is the MicroChipping included in the price of the collie?

A. No, this is an Additional Service, sold separately. Our fee is only $49.00.

Q. Could my Collie be allergic to the AVID Microchip?

A. The AVID microchip is inert and biocompatible. There is virtually no chance of the body developing an allergy or trying to reject the microchip after being properly implanted.

Q. Can a Microchip move?

A. AVID microchips are coated with Parylene C, which is vacuum-deposited polymer. This coating once in contact with the body fluids, forms a small layer of connective tissue around the microchip, preventing movement of the chip.

Q. What should I do if I change addresses?

A. Notify the AVID tracking system, by calling their customer service.

Q. At what age can my Collie be Microchipped?

A. Puppies can be identified anytime from 8-12 weeks old. If you purchase your Microchip from Stirling Collies, then your Collie will be Microchipped before it arrives in your home.
