National Check the Chip Day: A Reminder to Keep Your Pet's Microchip Updated

August 15th is National Check the Chip Day

Losing your pet is a horrifying experience for pet owners and pets alike. Microchips can help you find you pets and bring them back home should they ever lose their way.  However, it’s important to understand that microchips are only effective if the registration information provided is accurate.

“Check the Chip Day” is collaborative effort between American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), which serves to remind pet owners to have their pets microchipped and keep the registration information up-to-date.
Take advantage of this reminder. If your pet isn’t already microchipped, schedule a microchipping appointment for them. After your pet has been microchipped, bring them into NOVA Pets for a FREE scan and to find out how to keep your registration information updated.
