PETCO Partners with Luv My Pet, Vetco Hospitals, Inc. for Holiday Microchipping Drive
San Diego, CA (Vocus/PRWEB ) December 12, 2006 -- Having a pet run away can be a distressing event for any pet parent, and the worry doesn't go away until the lost pet has been found. Feeling powerless, owners will post signs, check local shelters and drive around for hours just hoping to see their lost loved one walking down the street.
Now, through the technology of pet microchipping, pets can be more easily reunited with their parents. PETCO is supporting the continuing trend in pet microchipping by running special offers on the service during the holiday season.
During the PETCO Foundation's Tree of Hope fundraising campaign, Luv My Pet and Vetco Hospitals, Inc. will give customers a $10 discount, bringing the cost of microchipping services to only $29.99, which includes lifetime registration. In addition, these sponsors will donate $1 to the Tree of Hope collection for every pet microchipped during the promotion.
The microchipping trend is ever-increasing and thousands of pets and their parents have already been reunited as a result of animal shelters and veterinarians painlessly scanning for the embedded code of the microchip. Some communities are even requiring that all dogs and cats be implanted with these small devices, which are about the size of a grain of rice.
Luv My Pet and Vetco Hospitals, Inc. offer microchipping and low-cost vaccination services in more than 550 PETCO locations within the states of California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine.
