You pet’s microchip will last the lifetime of your pet; however, the system won’t work unless you keep your contact information current. Whenever you move or change your phone number, make sure you update that information with your pet’s microchip manufacturer. Remember to also get your pet new ID tags at the same time.
When your pet is microchipped at the BC SPCA Vancouver Animal Hospital, they are registered with the BC Pet Registry. Logon anytime to update your contact information and ensure your pet has the best chance of getting home should they get lost!
