Microchips significantly increase the chances that you'll get your pet back if he/she is lost or stolen, but a microchip only works if its registration information is accurate.
To remind pet owners to have their pets microchipped and to keep the registration information up-to-date, AVMA and the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) joined together to create "Check the Chip Day." With support from HomeAgain, we've been able to develop additional materials to promote the event.
Many databases allow you to register your pet's microchip. Still, the one that counts – the one that animal shelters and veterinarians will search – is the database maintained by the manufacturer of your pet's microchip, http://www.petmicrochiplookup.org.
AAHA's Universal Pet Microchip Lookup Tool is linked to the registries of most microchip manufacturers and allows a quick database search of any microchip made by these manufacturers. In addition, several public microchip registries have also been linked to the AAHA Universal Pet Microchip Lookup Tool to make it easier to find a microchip's registration.
