Microchip Manufacturer List
When it comes to pet microchips, there are several manufacturers to choose from. Microchip manufacturers all share the same purpose – keeping your pet safer by identifying them if they ever go missing. However, not all pet microchip manufacturers offer the same services and prices. PetLink’s services are easy to locate and utilize when you need them the most, all at a low price. PetLink offers a one-time registration fee when creating an account for your pet. There are no additional fees for updating account information. If you find a missing pet, PetLink’s online search function searches not only its database, but also uses the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) lookup tool to provide a list of other databases the microchip may be registered with or who the microchip was manufactured by if not registered.
Benefits of Microchipping Your Pet
Microchipping your pet comes with many important benefits. Other forms of pet ID, such as tags and collars, can be broken, lost, removed, etc. Pet microchips are the only permanent and nearly indestructible device to identify your pet. If a pet goes missing, a microchip is the most reliable solution for reuniting a pet with its owner. Any veterinarian or animal rescue organization will have the ability to look up a pet’s information by scanning for a microchip.
Microchipping is also inexpensive and typically requires no maintenance. As long as the pet’s microchip number is registered with PetLink and the owner’s information is current, no further action is required. Having your pet microchipped is a safety measure that offers pet owners a sense of security and peace of mind.
How to Find Your Pet’s Microchip Manufacturer
Finding your pet’s microchip manufacturer is simple. If you have access to the documentation from the microchip procedure, the number and manufacturer should be listed. If you do not have access to the documentation, a veterinarian or animal shelter can scan the pet to retrieve the microchip number. Scanners are also available to purchase so anyone can scan a pet’s microchip themselves. There are many affordable options online for buying a microchip scanner. The microchip number can be used to determine the manufacturer by using an online lookup. The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) website offers a lookup tool for finding microchip manufacturer and registry information.
