Check the Chip Date is August 15th!

​Is your pet's microchip up-to-date?
Microchips greatly increase the chance of getting your pet back if he/she is lost or stolen, but a microchip only works if its registration information is accurate. 

Make sure your pet's microchip information is up-to-date between now and August 15, which is 'Check the Chip Day' across the United States. If you've ever moved or changed phone numbers or other contact information, it's more than worth the effort to make sure you've submitted updated information on your pet's microchip registry. Even if your contact information hasn't changed, it's a good idea to double-check that your correct information is included in the microchip registry.

Checking a chip's registration information is easy, and can mean the difference between heartbreak and a happy family reunion if you ever get separated from your pet. The American Veterinary Medical Association maintains a website with easy-to-follow instructions at AVMA.org/CheckTheChip.

To check and update a registration, you'll need your pet's microchip number. If you don't have that easily accessible at home, we'll be happy to scan your pet's chip for you; just call us to make an appointment to bring your pet into the clinic!

And if you don't yet have your pet microchipped, there's no better time than now. Microchips help reunite families. Call us to talk about the benefits of microchipping and schedule an appointment for your pet. 
 
Take advantage of our Check the Chip Special Aug 14-19th. Normally $60 now ONLY $34.99! (HomeAgain Microchip registration and enrollment included.)

I think it is a great move by a pet owner to have his pet microchipped. But the fact is, has he ever register his microchip? Does he know his registration contact information in the registry is up-to-date or not? Because microchipping the pet is the first step in intensifying the possibilities of pet owner that he will be reconciled with his pet when he gets lost or disappears in the blink of an eye. But if the database in the registry is not up-to-date, then he can not get that much of benefit as supposed to be. So, if someone is microchipping his pet, then he needs to make sure his chip is having updated information and if not, he should update it immediately either visiting the website of microchip's brand or taking the help of a reputable vet.
