Does your pet have a microchip by Save This Life? If so, you've probably heard that the business has abruptly closed.

Luckily, your pet does not need a new microchip, but you will need to re-register the chip information. You can re-register the chip information for free at www.freepetchipregistry.com, and this will add your pet's information to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) database.

Not sure what company your pet's microchip company is under? Give us a call and we can help you find out!

Free Pet Chip Registry is dedicated to the well being and safe return of your pet when lost! Free registration for all pets with microchips in North America!
