National Check the Chip Day
August 15
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, 10 million dogs and cats are lost or stolen in the US every year. Research indicates that only 22% of lost dogs in shelters were returned to their families, but that percentage rose to more than 52% when a dog is microchipped.
Although 1 in 3 family pets will get lost, only 6 out of 10 microchips are registered. A microchip only works if it is registered and the information is accurate. Please check with your pet’s microchip company to be sure your contact information is up to date.
