National Check The Chip Day On August 15

Microchips are a wonderful tool for reuniting people and lost pets. They have even been used to prove identity in cases of stolen pets. But they only work if you get your pet microchipped and then make sure the information is up to date. Bring your pet to our Castle Rock animal hospital to check their chip on National Check the Chip Day, taking place on August 15th.

Pet Microchipping in Castle Rock

As a veterinarian in Castle Rock, we hear about more lost pets than we would like to. Some of those pets might make it home thanks to RFID pet microchips. As the benefits of pet chipping are becoming more well known, more people choose to participate through their vet in Castle Rock every year. Pet microchipping in Castle Rock is a quick, easy, and cheap way to ensure that your pet never gets lost without I.D.

However, RFID pet microchips are only as good as the information they contain. A chip to find lost pets actually just stores a number that is linked to your information in a database. If you don't keep that information up to date, the microchip is as about as useful as pet tags with your old, disconnected phone number on them.

If your pet is not already microchipped, call us today to schedule an appointment. Be sure to immediately register your chip! If you've already participated in pet chipping, bring your pet to our Castle Rock Animal Hospital to check their chip. Even if you think the information is up to date, we strongly encourage you to double check.
