The American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Animal Hospital Association, along with local veterinary hospitals such as the Ann Arbor Animal Hospital, have teamed up to remind pet owners of the importance of microchipping their pet and making sure the registered information is up to date. To that end, August 15th has been dubbed “Check the Chip Day”. Identifying your pet with a microchip is the best way to ensure its safe return to you, should it get lost or stolen.
