"Our pets can be separated from us due to unforeseen reasons even when we are very careful. It can happen to you."

A family member is visiting or the cleaning person is over and your pet sneaks out. A hurricane can separate us from our pets too.

You have seen news media on lost pets due to hurricanes its heartbreaking!

A microchip is a small rice like capsule that is injected into the skin by the shoulder blades. Microchiping is easy and painless and can be done by a shelter or your veterinarian.

If you adopt a pet from a shelter alot of time they are already micro chipped. If your pet is lost and someone brings them to a shelter or vet clinic they will be scanned and that number will register to you.

It is very important that you fill out all paperwork and mail in the registration and be sure to contact the microchip company when you move to update your new address!

I've lost a cat once, during an annual fireworks day we have here in New Zealand.

She came back eventually, but the poor thing was not herself for a week. Must have been so frightened by the noise!

Would have been great to have had a way to find her during that time she was gone, as it was upsetting to the whole family to have her missing.

Thanks for the tip!

That is a good idea to have a microchip. It would help us to find them easily.
