Microchipping

At Amarillo Vet Clinic, we offer the SaveThisLife microchip which is used in conjunction with Google Maps.

A microchip, approximately the size of a grain of rice is implanted between the shoulder blades using a syringe slightly larger then that of a vaccination. This procedure can be done in the office at any time and in a matter of minutes.

We will cover your LIFETIME activation fee.

How it works

“It starts with a quick Google search. First, you find a lost pet and Google the pet’s microchip number. Second, you are able to contact the pet owner privately using patented technology via text message and email. Third, the pet owner will receive a GPS map of the pet finder’s actual location with the message that the pet finder has sent (For example: “Hey I found your pet. Call or text me at [phone number] or email me at [email address]”).

This eliminates the middleman, and a message goes instantly to the pet owner. This system allows pets and owners to be reunited faster than ever before. Pet finders needing additional assistance are also free to call our toll free number and speak to a live operator.”
