Wizard of WAZ: 💫
The importance of microchipping your pet. We have heard it all, “my dog never leaves the yard”, or the always common, “she stays right by my side and won’t go anywhere”.
Dogs and cats can slip out of a house by quickly. Sometimes it’s not even on purpose.
📍So many pets are lost or stolen each year after a home break-in.
📍Car accidents leave dogs stranded, lost and scared, often never recovered.
📍Maintenance people are neglectful.
📍That storm that knocked your fence down.
📍Someone other than you was in the house.
📍Fireworks are scary enough to make any animal flee.
📍The dog slipped its collar at the vet.
📍You moved or traveled and the pet doesn’t know how to get back home.
📍The border didn’t realize there was a hole under the fence.
📍The kids weren’t paying attention.
Anything can happen. When your pet is lost, or stolen, your chance of getting your pet back is increased by more than 60% when they have an updated/current microchip.
Shelters may receive a dog or cat and if it is not microchipped, it’s now a stray. So, you know which shelter the dog went to when found? Some people see a lost animal and pick it up, taking it with them to other areas, towns and even other states. Who is trying to locate you from there?
We get requests to scan animals almost daily. Vets and shelters scan all day. Without the microchip, no one knows who they belong to, especially without a collar and tag.
Did you know that dogs that are stolen often get loose from their new homes and can be found by someone else, scanned and returned when they realize it’s yours? That happens all the time.
We see pets in shelters every day that are clearly a well cared for family member, only to be euthanized or placed in rescue if they are lucky, because families were never located.
Many ordinances require chips now to prevent shelter overpopulation. We make microchipping a prioroty and mAKC Reunitence affordable.
We trust AKC Reunite. We only charge $15 for chips and that includes FREE Lifetime Registration. You get that nowhere else!
Call and make sure your pet is chipped and the registration is current. Almost any animal can be chipped!
We see dogs, cats, goats, tortoises, bunnies, birds, ferrets, horses, and so much more. People want their pets back!
Reach out to your vet, local shelter or rescue, and get your pets microchipped, for their safety and your peace of mind.
