What is a Microchip?
A microchip is a tiny electronic device, roughly the size of a grain of rice, that is injected just under your pet's skin. This chip holds a unique identification number that connects to your contact information in a national pet registry. Unlike collars and tags that can easily fall off or be removed, microchips offer a permanent and reliable form of identification.
The Importance of Keeping Microchip Details Up to Date
When you first have your pet microchipped, registering it with your current information is crucial. However, life can be unpredictable. Moves to new homes, changes in phone numbers, or even a pet's change in ownership can affect the information stored in the microchip registry. Keeping these details current is important. It ensures that if your pet goes missing, anyone who finds them can easily contact you.
Imagine your beloved pet losing its way. They end up with a caring stranger who takes them to a vet for a scan. If the microchip's contact details are outdated, your pet may not be returned to you. This scenario can lead to heart-wrenching separation. Therefore, updating your microchip information is not just practical—it's essential for the safety of your pet.
