5 Reasons Why You Need To Register Your Dog’s Microchip
Here are 5 reasons why microchip registration is becoming every dog owner’s priority.
1. Your Dog is Likely to Get Lost at Some Point
One out of every three dogs and cats may become lost during their lifetimes, and over 80% of them never reunite with their owners. The use of a registered microchip substantially diminishes these chances.
2. Enhanced Recovery Chances
In the unfortunate event that your pet goes missing or is stolen, having a registered microchip considerably enhances the likelihood of their safe return. Veterinarians, shelters, and animal rescues conduct scans for microchips, enabling the swift identification of lost pets and their reunion with their owners.
3. Permanently Linked to You
Unlike collars and tags, which may fall off or fade, a microchip offers a permanent form of identification that is immune to loss, alteration, or removal. By registering the microchip, you link it to your contact information, ensuring a reliable and enduring connection.
4. Nationwide Network
After registration, your pet’s microchip can be identified at various clinics, shelters, and rescues throughout the U.S. and Canada. This extensive network significantly increases the chances of reuniting with your pet, even if they stray far from home or are taken to a distant location.
5. Proof of Ownership
If a dispute arises regarding ownership, a registered microchip can serve as conclusive evidence that you are the legitimate owner of the pet. This is especially valuable in situations where pets are either stolen or inadvertently taken in by well-intentioned individuals.
6. Bonus Peace of Mind
Having the knowledge that your pet is microchipped and registered brings a sense of peace of mind. In the event your pet goes missing, you can be confident that you’ve taken a crucial measure to facilitate their safe return.
