Although no one had as of yet anyways, the staff at my veterinarian's office suggested that I bring him in so they could scan her to see if she had a microchip implanted. Fortunately for all of us, she did have one, and in a matter of minutes I was able to find out her owner's name and phone number.
It turns out that he lived in the next county, almost 30 miles away from my house. I contacted his owner and was able to return him later that day! What could have been a very sad situation turned into an incredibly happy ending.
Although he did have a collar with his license and ID tags on, he had slipped out of it like so many pets do.
Micorchipping is a very safe and effective way to ensure your lost pet will always be identifiable. The process is as painless as a shot and reasonably priced. We encourage anyone with a pet to invest in a microchip, please go to your veterinarians and have it done today.
