If you recently received an email regarding your pet’s microchip needing to be re-registered please understand that the email is misleading. The brand that is listed in the email is not a brand that we use, or have ever used here at Belle Forest. If your pet was microchipped here, you can disregard the email.

If your pet was not microchipped here you can check your paperwork and see if a Save Your Life microchip was used. If so, please register it at
