Important Microchip Changes
We want to inform you of an important update regarding Save This Life Microchips. The company has unexpectedly shut down and unlinked its database from national registries. We have used Save This Life Microchips for many years, so if your pet was microchipped through us, it was likely one from this company.
What You Need to Know:
- The microchips themselves remain safe and functional.
- However, due to the database shutdown, pet owners must take immediate action to ensure their pet's microchip information is accessible.
What You Need to Do:
To prevent any issues if your pet ever goes missing, please register your pet’s microchip number as soon as possible at freepetchipregistry.com. This free registry is connected to the AAHA Universal Pet Microchip Lookup Tool, ensuring your contact information is available when scanned.
If you do not register your pet’s microchip, there will be no way to retrieve your contact information should your pet become lost.
To Find Your Pet’s Microchip Information:
Download the PetDesk App. Once you’ve downloaded the app & signed up with the email address we have on file for you, it takes about 24-48 hours for everything to sync your pet’s information from our system. Within their pet profile, you can find their microchip & rabies tag numbers under “Chips & Tags.” You can download the PetDesk below.
Get your pet’s chip scanned at any of our locations. We will not register the pet for you, however, you can either stop in or call to schedule a time to bring your pet in to be scanned for a microchip and we will write down the chip number for you to register. If you’re unable to make it to one of our locations, a shelter or rescue can also scan your pet.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please call our hospital at (812) 897-4855.
