Many times, we would find microchips in lost pets but when we contacted the chip company the owners had never registered the chips or when they adopted the pet from the shelter they had never updated the information. Half the microchips would just point back to the shelter.AnnStaubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386132460741393276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-85669781967528730952013-06-17T13:50:49.590-05:002013-06-17T13:50:49.590-05:00Pet flipping?

I'll be sure to look up their chip info and take care of this. <br /><br />Although the closest they will come to going "outside" is a trip in the PTU to the vet, we know that crazy things can happen. When Katie was a kitten, she slipped out the front door as we were carrying bags inside. We didn't notice for about a half hour and it was the dead of winter!!! When I couldn't find her inside, I went outside and called for her. There she came, scampering out of a bush, terrified and cold. <br /><br />You are right.

It's such a simple thing to do;. Pet flipping is a scary thing. Even 25+ years ago, when M had a schnauzer, she was afraid to leave him by himself in the front yard because there were reportings of some pedigreed dogs being snatched and then probably sold. Thanks for this important update. Every anipal should be microchipped - just in case. It's such a simple things to do for added protection.Mariodacathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600880780597061337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-30183809343456786072013-06-17T11:50:48.090-05:002013-06-17T11:50:48.090-05:00you would be horribly surprised how many people mi...you would be horribly surprised how many people microchip and don't register.. and then even those that do register often forget to keep the information updated.
