Good reminder for me to register Zen’s chip! Thank you!!
Happy to provide a PSA if it saves doggos.
Copper Sue got chipped by the rescue, and on her first vet visit they checked for it and recorded the information. Max will get a chip when he gets neutered. Luke was our first dog that ever got chipped and it gave me such peace of mind knowing he had it. The company usually checked in with me periodically to be sure none of our information changed.
Thank you so much for the lovely card you sent for the loss of my brother-in-law. It always means so much when you send a card, and I may have never thanked you for Luke’s either. I tend to go in “quiet mode” when I’m grieving, and I feel like I barely got my head above water after Luke before suffering this new loss. I’m still struggling, honestly, and mostly focusing on being there for my sister. I’m so glad we have the puppies and the new barn kitties, they are such a great distraction! ♥
That’s good news on the chips. When Norman was chipped, I went online and registered with the chip provider so they’d always be able to reach me, just in case. A lost dog in my neighborhood had been chipped (the vet did a scan) but alas there was no owner info-it was probably chipped at another vet or shelter. Never found out if they was ever reunited and decided I’d always keep my info up to date with the provider since they vet who placed it could retire or close up shop.
Glad the card brought some comfort. Unexpected losses are always the hardest. Know I’m thinking of you and your sis and sending positive thoughts your way. Hugs and tails wags and please give all the critters an affectionate ear/belly rub from me. 💙
da phenny agrees, he screamed like a banshee as a judge wanted to read da chip…drama queen :O)))
Maybe the judge was tickling him? 😆
Maybe the day should be June 30th, since July First is also a holiday n Canada, and the fireworks are just as loud there…
We have a routine vet appt, next week, so we
We’ll have our chips checked out then. Just to be sure!
You’re right, it should definitely be closer to those fireworks days. It’s a good idea to check with your vet-good on you!
A terrier would be embarrassed,
But probably not remorseful.
Happy Monday! Hope your week is off to a great start! Great reminder.
So far so good. 😉 If it helps reunite even one pet, we think it’s a good thing.
💕 Yes!
Actually, check the chip day should be the day before the 4th, not after, LOL! Poor pup, bot only did she get scared, then she got humiliated. We need to get Chia chipped for sure!
You’re probably right on the date. Maybe even July 1st! You gotta feel badly for that poor Boxer pup. Couldn’t have been a pleasant experience for him.
Valuable reminder.
It’s more important than ever, especially in the city where pets manage to get out of yards and roam the neighborhood. Many folks around here are kind enough to collect them and take them to a vet’s office to find out if they’re chipped. Some are and some have outdated info so it’s good to have that double checked with the provider.
What a handsome boxer!
Classic Boxer remorse, too. 🤣
Buahahaha!
Good reminder for sure…………Ted was chipped at the shelter where we adopted him. I had never had a cat of mine chipped before but it’s such an IMPORTANT thing to do!
Hugs, Pam
I think more and more shelters are doing it as a precaution. Good idea if you ask us. Happy Monday.
So important, thanks for the reminder on this day!
Seems silly we have to have reminders for being responsible pet ownership but if sharing saves even one pet in the future, I’d say it was worth it. Happy Monday. 😁
It would be worth it! No more “lost pet” signs.
I like how the boxer tried to “qualify” how much they left on the floor (“a little”). Good, sound, important advice to start out the week with. And yes, if the 4th is such a problem time I think an awareness campaign in June – perhaps after Father’s Day – would allow people time to get this done if they hadn’t already.
Yeah, that ‘qualification’ was pretty funny. It seems incomprehensible there isn’t more promotion for micro-chipping. But then again, we still apparently need to remind people to not leave their pets in the car on a hot day when they go shopping. Besides, who takes their pets shopping with them only to leave them in the car ANY time of year?? Happy Monday, Bruce.
A must if you have babies. It’s the right thing to do and we’ve always made sure our babies were chipped. The pup did make me chuckle.
Have a fabulous day and week. Scritches to the pups, a smooch to Norman and a big hug to you. ♥
The look on that poor Boxer’s face. Made me laugh out loud. Yes, chipping is the way to go-you never know if a collar with contact info gets removed. A chip is permanent! Happy Monday, Sandee. Hugs and tail wags.
All up to date here. Thanks for the reminder, Monika.
Hurrah-good news (but then I never expected less from you). 😉
😊
Lulu: “All our chips are up to date here!”
Java Bean: “Wait, what? We all have chips?”
Charlee: “Uh, yeah.”
Java Bean: “Even me?”
Chaplin: “Also yeah.”
Java Bean: “So my name could be Java Chip?”
Lulu: “I suppose, but why would you want your name to be Java Chip?”
Java Bean: “Because Dada says it’s the best drink at Starbucks.”
Oh Java Bean…always thinking with your stomach. 🤣
So important to chip your pets!
You can never go wrong chipping (but confess, I had no prior idea there was an actual day for it). I’ve read of success stories of pets who had been chipped being reunited years later-nothing like an eventual happy ending.
I think it’s a smart choice.
National chip day should probably be July 2nd or 3rd, before the 4th when so many pets get lost. Chips save lives and reunite folks…absolutely.
Good point with those dates! Happy Monday.
Feeling chipper at the Golden K! Have a good week and thanks for this important reminder.
Woopee! But expected no less of the Golden K ‘manager.’ Happy Monday, Mike.
This dog shaming business has to stop……..
It does seem unfortunate when you see expressions like that. Boxer’s are a sensitive lot.
Thanks for the reminder! Ours was scanned by a new vet recently. All good to go.
All my readers seem to be ahead of the reminder, but a PSA seemed like a good idea for newer owners. Happy Monday, Diane.
All chipped here except for the humans.
The tin foil brigade is convinced anyone who was vaccinated got chipped. I’m ok with that so long as they send me home if I’m found wandering about. 😆
Me too.
Great advice to check your chip. We have stray dogs wandering the neighborhood when the wind blows the fences down (so just think about how often that is), and every once in a while, a chip is what gets them home.
Right you are, and from what I gather the chances of strays being reunited with their owners is over 52% when they’re chipped.
