A study performed by the Human Animal Support Services found that pets with a microchip are more than THREE times as likely to be reunited with their owners!

We strongly encourage pet owners to microchip their pet even if they are inside only pets (as accidents can happen and they can get out and go missing). If your pet already has a microchip, be sure your contact information is up to date to ensure there is no delay in reuniting you with your furry friend! 🐾
