How To Update A Pet Microchip

Introduction

Microchips are an essential part of pet care and should be updated as soon as you move to a new location. Microchip providers have different contact information, so you’ll need to find the original paperwork for your pet or the phone number on the microchip itself. If your dog or cat has recently moved and their chip hasn’t been updated, it’s important that they’re registered with the correct city and state so they can be found if they go missing.

Verify that the microchip is still functioning properly.

You should also verify that the microchip is still functioning properly. This means checking that:

The microchip is still in your pet (it may have migrated or gotten lost)
The microchip is still in good condition and has not become detached
The microchip remains in its proper position, location, or state

Locate the original paperwork and make sure you have all of your pet’s identification records.

Before you update your pet’s microchip, you will need to locate the original paperwork. You must have this information in order to perform the update. Your contact information should be present on all of your pet’s identification records, including their microchip registration card and their vet records.

If you are unsure whether or not your chip is still functioning properly, take them to a veterinarian for a checkup and scan their body with an electronic scanner that uses radio waves or ultrasound technology (depending on what type of chip it is). You can also simply call 1-800-252-7894 if you are concerned about the health of your animal; they will ask some questions about its condition before giving any suggestions for treatment options or additional procedures needed at this time.

Dial either (888) 468-PETS or (800) 252-7894.

You will be connected to a live operator who can help you. The operator will ask you for information about your pet, and if necessary, they will ask for more information about the microchip that needs to be updated. They will also ask for some personal information about yourself so that they can verify that you are the owner of the pet when you update the chip.

Verify your information with the registry.

Verify your information with the registry. While this is a simple step, you’ll want to make sure everything is in order before you get the new microchip installed. After all, it’s best not to take any risks when it comes to these matters.
Check that the microchip number is correct. If all of your information matches up and there’s no issue with what was registered previously, then that’s great! You can rest assured that no mistakes were made during any phase of installation or removal (this isn’t always so cut-and-dry).
Check that the microchip company is still in business. If they’ve closed shop somewhere along the way since they first registered their chip with a registry agency (and even if they haven’t), then you may want to consider looking elsewhere for help—even if only temporarily until someone else takes over those duties again on their end as well as yours

Update your information if necessary.

The first step to updating your pet’s microchip information is to make sure you have all of the necessary information. This includes:

Your address, phone number and email address
The date that the update should begin (the date of your last update)
The name of your pet(s) or their identification numbers

You can use the above steps to update the microchip for anyone who has a home pet.

It is a good idea to update the microchip for anyone who has a home pet. The number of pets that get lost and reunited with their owners increases every year, so updating your pet’s microchip is an important step in keeping them safe.

Conclusion

When it comes down to it, keeping track of your pet’s microchip is an important responsibility. It’s easy to forget about them, but you never know when you might need to make sure that the information is up-to-date. The good news is that updating a microchip can be done pretty easily—all you need is the right number and some basic info like your name and phone number. There are other things too, but the most essential thing is getting someone out there who will help find your pet if they go missing.
