Chuck & Don's Grand Opening in Hudson - Saturday September 13, 2014

We will be 
Microchipping Pets
at 
Chuck & Don's Grand Opening
of their Hudson Store
Saturday, September 13, 2014
9:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Statics say 1 out of every 3 pets will get lost at sometime during their lifetime.  90% of those that are lost without a microchip are never found by their original owners.  Having your pet microchipped significantly raises the odds they will be returned to you.  

 

The $20 fee covers the microchip and registration for the life of your pet in the HomeAgain Pet Recovery Database.

 

SCAF will also have an information table setup so stop in and see us!
