MICROCHIPPING

What would you do if you lost your pet through one of these scenarios and he did not have any ID tag, collar, or microchip?

• a motor vehicle accident and you and your pet get separated 
  

• an appliance repairman leaves the door to your home open and your pet escapes while you are away
  

• your ex steals your pet
  

• your pet runs away during a thunderstorm and can't find his way home
  

• your pet escapes from a kennel or vet hospital
  

• your pet gets lost while you are on vacation
  

• your home and pets are evacuated during a local fire or emergency and you are not with them
  

THESE SITUATIONS HAVE ALL HAPPENED TO PEOPLE!!!!!

Microchipping does not guarantee you and your pet will be successfully reunited, but it increases the chance of it occurring.  It is a safe way to store permanent information as to your whereabouts when your pet is scanned by a local shelter, vet hospital, or humane society.  Thousands of pets have been reunited with their owners through this international system.

Having worked at a few veterinary emergency facilities, Dr. Bissmeyer knows that a microchipped pet that is brought in by a Good Samaritan or Animal Control officer will get 911 care until the owner is contacted.  Most pets that go unidentified are humanely euthanized upon presentation to an emergency clinic.
