It’s National Check the Chip Day and a great time to remind you of the importance of microchipping your pet! 🐶🐱
In the worst case, if a pet gets out or goes missing, microchips make it easy to reunite pets with their owners. BUT, your pet’s microchip must be registered and have current contact information. ‼️ If your chip isn’t registered, shelter or vet staff won’t have any information to help locate you.
Take this as your reminder to make sure your pet’s chip is registered AND the info is accurate! ✔️
To do this:
First, you’ll need to know your pet’s microchip number (a 9-,10-, or 15-digit code). You can find it on paperwork, by calling your vet to see if it’s on file, or by bringing your pet in to be scanned.
Once you know the code, you can determine which company is associated with your pet’s chip. From there, you can register and update information online easily!
