Save This Life Microchips has unexpectedly shut down and unlinked its database from national registries. Here’s what you need to know and what to do:
· If your pet’s microchip number starts with either 991 or 900164, then you have one of the Save This Life microchips.
· The microchips themselves remain safe and functional.
· However, due to the database shutdown, pet owners must take immediate action to ensure their pet's microchip information is accessible.
To prevent any issues if your pet ever goes missing, please re-register your pet’s microchip number as soon as possible at one of the following sites: 1. Free Registry Service at www.freepetchipregistry.com. This FREE registry is connected to the AAHA Universal Pet Microchip Lookup Tool, ensuring your contact information is available when scanned. 2. PetLink at 1-877-PETLINK (738-5465) or Petlink Registration. Register Save This Life microchipped pets with petlink.net for only $9.99 using the discount code: VEDCO.
3. HomeAgain at 1-888-466-3242 or homeagain.com. Register Save This Life microchipped pets with HomeAgain for no charge when using code EnrollSTL.
Unsure of your pet’s chip number or the company they are registered with? Call, email or text our hospital to have your pet's information retrieved or to schedule an appointment for a quick scan with a Universal Reader.
