Microchips greatly increase the chances that you’ll get your pets back
if they are lost or stolen, but microchips only work if their
registration information is accurate. To remind pet owners to have their
pets microchipped and to keep the registration information up-to-date,
the AVMA and the American Animal Hospital Association have joined
together to make August 15th “Check the Chip Day.” For more information
about the importance of microchips, we spoke with Dr. Linda Lord, an
associate professor at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary
Medicine. Dr. Lord has conducted research showing how effective
microchips are in reunited pets with their owners.
