The Best Gift You Can Give Your Pet

Looking for the perfect gift for your little Yapper this holiday season, how about microchipping them? The good people at Petstablished want our readers to know the extreme importance of registering your pet for microchipping.

What is a microchip and how does it work?                             

It is not a tracking device. It can only be “turned on” for a few seconds at a time by a handheld microchip scanner that is passed over the area the microchip is implanted to read the microchip’s unique ID number. Veterinarians, shelters and Animal Welfare Organizations (AWOs) have these scanners and use them to help lost pets all of the time. Pets that are microchipped are up to 20 times more likely to be reunited with their owners. A microchip is placed between your dog’s or cat’s shoulder blades under a veterinarian’s supervision. Implantation is quick, easy and virtually painless – similar to a vaccine injection – and can be performed during a regular clinic visit.

Here at YapTalk, we believe in safety and preparedness. This is why microchipping your little Yapper and registering their microchip is such a near and dear subject to our hearts. Petstablished want to ensure that if the worse happens and your 4-legged friend is lost or stolen, you will be reunited as quickly as possible. They also want to use microchip registration to help get as many lost pets reconnected with their owners in the event of accidental separation. This is why Petstablished is much more than a microchip company.

Petstablished also provides software management to Animal Welfare Organizations commonly known as AWOs, are non-profit organizations that depend on their local governments, grants, and private donations to exist and function. These can be your local SPCA or rescue group. Petstablished’s mission is to assist these organizations with managing their day-to-day operations so that they may spend more of their time connecting pets with their future families rather than on administrative tasks. Petstablished is a one stop shop that helps shelters and rescues better manage those administrative tasks, and helps AWOs gain more exposure for their adoptable animals. With Petstablished, your adoptable pets get high visibility, and with its features, automation and ease of use, helps shelters and rescues adopt out more pets.

What’s the good of a microchip if it’s not registered and/or if the owner information isn’t accurate or up-to-date? Petstablished wants to stress that while microchipping is important, there are also two other essential things that all pet owners MUST DO…they MUST register their pet’s microchip AND keep their own records up to date.
