Avid Microchip Products Information from
Avid
Avid offers two types of chips.
- Original AVID® MicroChips are nine digits long.
- The AVID® EuroChip is ten
characters long and looks like this on the scanner: 132028476A
The longer format allows the EuroChip to be read by other brand
name scanners, such as:
You must have the AVID® Universal
MiniTracker to read this chip.
Our EuroChip is the same size and price as our regular AVID®
MicroChips.
More information from Avid
| Does AVID® make a
scanner that can read all chips used in the United States? |
Yes.
|
| How can the microchip
help if my horse is stolen? |
The chip number
provides law enforcement the equivalent of a 'Vehicle
Identification Number' for your horse, and provides you with
proof that it is YOUR horse. This information is
backed up by our database. In combination with our
published Hot Sheets of stolen ID numbers, not only is the
public alerted, but thieves are deterred.
|
| What about an
emergency...a fire, flood, storm, etc? Will the chip
help save my horse? |
AVID currently works
with all national disaster and emergency preparedness groups
in America. When a microchip is found in a horse, he
is a phone call away from being reunited with his owner.
|
| What is the injection
site for horses? |
The tiny chip goes into
the nuchal ligament halfway between the poll and withers
just below the mane. Most horses do not react.
|
| How long does the chip
last? Does it wear out? Can my horse feel
anything when he is being scanned? |
The chip is guaranteed
for the lifetime of your horse. It will not wear out
or fade. The horse feels nothing at all when he is
being 'scanned.'
|
  
Scanners
are universal and will allow you to read AVID®,
Destron®, and HomeAgain™
microchips.
The AVID® microchip system is used around the
world by veterinarians, animal owners, and regulatory entities.
Delivery systems are safe, accurate and reliable.
