🚨 IMPORTANT MICROCHIP ALERT FOR PET OWNERS! 🚨
*San Diego pet owners (dogs, cats, ANY pet owners who’s pets are chipped) many local city and private shelters/rescues in our area used this chip so it’s important you read this.
The microchip company Save This Life has suddenly ceased operations, leaving many pet microchips unregistered and untraceable. If your pet is microchipped with Save This Life, it's crucial to take immediate action to ensure your contact information is still linked to your pet's chip.
What You Can Do:
• Check Your Pet’s Microchip Number: Your adoption contracts or medical record would have it or call your vet clinic to check with them.
◦ Scan the Chip: You can have your pet's microchip scanned at a veterinarian's office, animal shelter or by the Admins/Volunteers of this group.
◦ Identify the Chip: If the microchip number starts with 991 or 900164, it's likely from Save This Life.
• Look Up the Number:
◦ Use the AAHA Universal Microchip Lookup Tool to see if your pet's microchip is registered with any active database.
• Re-Register the Microchip:
◦ If the chip was registered with Save This Life, promptly re-register it with another provider. Some reputable options include:
• AKC Reunite
• PetLink
• 24PetWatch
• HomeAgain
• Found Animals (offers free registration)
Additional Tips:
• Update Your Contact Information: Ensure your current phone number and address are up-to-date in the new registry. This is vital for a successful reunion if your pet gets lost.
• Use Multiple Forms of Identification: Don't rely solely on the microchip. Equip your pet with a collar and ID tags displaying your contact information for added security.
Remember: A microchip is only effective if your contact details are accurate and the registration is active. Taking these steps will help ensure your pet's safety and increase the chances of a happy reunion if they ever go missing. Spread the word to fellow pet owners to keep all our furry friends protected! 🐾💙
