Breeders
Microchipping is yet another way to differentiate the caliber of your breeding operation. It shows prospective, future pet owners that you are concerned for the pet's safety, should it ever go missing. Let your clients know about your micro-chipping practices.
Not only will they appreciate the extra service and care, but it also offers them peace of mind surrounding the pet's added safety.
Are you new to pet microchipping?
Getting started is easy once you determine your microchipping needs:
- How many microchips do you need?
AKC CAR offers you the best savings when you purchase microchips in boxes of 25; we also offer boxes of 5 or a single microchip. - Do you currently have a scanner, if so, what type?
- If you don’t have a scanner and are unable purchase one, what kind of scanner can you borrow from your vet or kennel club?
- If you plan to have your vet microchip for you, what scanner do they currently have?
- What microchip frequency would you prefer?
This is an important question based on the type of microchip scanner you have access to and whether or not your animals need to travel. An ISO microchip is recommended for pets that will be traveling, especially if they are going overseas or to Canada. - For pet microchipping to be effective, it involves a two-step process. First the microchip implantation, then the microchip enrollment in a recovery database. Are you going to pay for the enrollment upfront at a discounted rate or do you want the puppy buyer to pay for the enrollment on their own?
AKC CAR offers you a choice of purchasing microchips or microchips with prepaid enrollments included. AKC CAR microchip enrollment includes:- One time enrollment fee, no annual fees or other hidden fees.
- 24/7 support from dedicated recovery experts.
- AKC CAR collar ID tags showing the pet’s microchip number and AKC CAR’s phone number.
- No charge to update records, or limit to the number of updates made.
- Proceeds that support Canine Support and Relief Fund, Veterinary School Scholarships, disaster relief and more.
- What does microchipping have to do with AKC's Regulations for Record Keeping and Identification of Dogs?
As a responsible breeder, you understand it is critical that you can identify each of your dogs and know their parentage. Microchips provide proof-positive, permanent identification that not only meets the requirement of identifying your dogs, but also provides pet owners additional peace of mind knowing that their pet can be identified if lost.
