That’s the bad news of what can go wrong with microchipping. The good news is that when a microchip is registered and up-to-date, it will make reunification much easier! Shelter statistics confirm that pets are way more likely to make it home if they carry a microchip: microchipped dogs are 2.4 times more likely to get back to their families; microchipped cats are 21.4 times more likely to be reunited! It’s a no-brainer.”
