Veterinary team tip: Help clients register their pet's microchip information

Accurate microchip information can save a lost pet's life, but it's often a forgotten part of the moving process for pet owners. Here's how our clinic helps clients register a chip that wasn't done at our practice.

We have a lot of clients that bring their pets to us already microchipped but not registered. When asked about the microchip, they admit they haven't registered their pet or updated their info but and don't know how to go about getting it done. I created this document as a way to help our clients register a chip that wasn't done at our clinic.
