Our Shelter/Municipal Program includes:

Microchip Scanners
We currently provide Mini Tracker scanners capable of reading FECAVA and AVID Encrypted standard microchips. It is our objective in the near future to provide scanners also capable of reading ISO standard microchips.

Microchips
AVID Microchips are CVMA approved Canadian Standard Fecava (FDXA) microchips in a single use disposable syringe (SUDS). They are readable by all common brands of shelter scanners in North America. Our Annual Shelter/Municipal program provides AVID microchips, lifetime registration on our PETtrac database and traceable brass collar tags for an all-inclusive price.

Electronic Registration
We have two options available to shelters for electronic registration:
1) If you have a shelter management program, such as Chameleon, we can merge it with our electronic registration to provide single data entry.

2) If you have Windows XP,  Internet access and Microsoft Internet Explorer, we can provide independent software. When downloaded on your computer, our software allows direct access into our database from an icon on your Desktop and a simple procedure to register pets on-line and access the database to recover a stray. Note: Software does not support Netscape or Mac.

If electronic registration is not possible for your facility, we provide three-part registration forms at no cost that can be faxed and mailed to AVID Canada for posting on the database.

THE AVID ADVANTAGE
  • Our database is the largest national database in Canada, holding nearly one million registered animals.
    We offer both a 24-hour operator assisted and Internet recovery service.
  • Our microchips are readable by all AVID, Petnet (Destron, Digital Angel) & Identifier scanners in North America.
  • We have no annual fee or service fees.
  • We offer FREE electronic registration.
  • We accept non-microchipped pets on our database, using a tattoo, license or rabies tag.
  • Our database is secure & private. It is used for pet recovery purposes only. We do not sell or share our database with any other company or solicit our registered pet owners.
  • Our PETtrac database is protected in the unlikely event we ever go out of business.
