Many pet owners assume that when a veterinarian implants a microchip in their pet, it automatically registers their contact details to the chip. Unfortunately, this is not the case! ๐ฑ Without proper registration on a DEFRA-compliant database, the microchip essentially becomes ineffective.
๐ Why Registration Matters: Think of a microchip as a silent identifier for your pet. It's a tiny device containing a unique code that can be scanned to access your contact information.
๐ Taking Action: After your vet implants the microchip, it's crucial to register your pet's details and keep these details UP TO DATE. This ensures that if your pet ever gets lost, shelters, veterinary clinics, and animal control agencies can quickly access your information and facilitate a happy reunion.
๐ข Spread the Word: Let's make sure every pet owner is aware of this crucial step in pet care!
