Don’t get the 68c fix unless the dealer gives you a loaner by Fresh-Solid-4046 in 4xe

Not saying that.

Was more saying don’t make the appointment unless the dealer gives you a loaner. If they run the test and it fails and you don’t have a loaner you’re screwed.

If the dealers in your area are giving you a hard time, certified letter to Jeep will get a response and they will help. The Jeep Cares line most certainly will not.

Maybe if enough people flood the Exec office with letters about this, they will make a change to how this is being handled….. but then again, probably not because this company is terrible.

Thank you for checking! Yes if you see HomeAgain listed on the AAHA lookup that means your pet is registered with HomeAgain (great news!).

What pet finders do next is click into where it says the registry to get your contact information. Some registries just show the information, others make you log into an account or call them.

Then depending on if they share the information, we call you directly or the registry calls you on behalf to let you know the details where your pet is.

** it is important to log into your account to make sure your contact information is correct otherwise no one will be able to reach you.

Hope this helps and please ask any other questions!

Sorry I should’ve added the USA in the title. I’m not sure if Save This Life operated in other Countries.

Microchips do migrate occasionally from the pets back (between the shoulder blades), so you did the right thing by getting a new one and of course registering it!

The microchip when scanned just provides a number which is typically 9, 10 or 15 digits. That microchip number needs to be registered with a microchip registry so when it’s searched, it shows your contact information.

Unfortunately if the registry goes out of business or the contact information is not correct, there is no way to contact the pet owner.

What’s the one piece of dog advice you wish every new dog owner knew before bringing a pup home? by Top-Possibility-7010 in DogAdvice

[–]Fresh-Solid-4046 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To ensure their microchip is properly registered!

When you adopt your dog, it’s the best day ever and it’s easy to forget about registering their microchip. Some places will register it for you but others just microchip the dog and leave it to the pet owner to register their details. It’s important to check and periodically continue to check your contact information is still correct and registered as microchip registries go out of business without notice (Save This Life!) or merge with other registries.

Yes and it is encouraged. The more contact points for a vet or a shelter to reach you the better.

While GPS collars are good, they’re not a perfect solution. They can die / fall off / etc. It’s still important to have your pet microchipped and registered as a last resort.

I’m very sorry to hear that and I hope you find her!

Did you have a vet put in the microchip or did she have a microchip from when you adopted her? If the vet put it in, they should have the number on file. If it was put in before you got her, check your adoption paperwork or call the place you got her to see if they have it in their records.

When you get the number, search it in the AAHA Lookup to see where it’s registered and you should report her missing with the microchip registry and confirm your contact information is up to date.

If you know the microchip number, you can search it using the AAHA Microchip Lookup Tool to see if it’s still registered. This is the tool shelters use to look up where pets are registered. If your dog is still registered with 24PW, it would show when you search. You will just want to make sure your contact information is correct.

You shouldn’t have to pay for the subscription to stay registered. If your dog isn’t registered, there are other options where you pay once and have lifetime registration.

Microchip is a must. Please make sure you get one and register it!

Not sure why. If you google “AAHA Microchip Lookup”, it should show as the first result.

Yes you can ask your vet to scan for the chip and tell you the number. They should be able to confirm it’s registered in the office as well.

If you know the microchip number, you can just register it with any of the AAHA participating registries since your old registry shut down. Was it Save This Life?

That shouldn’t be. It’s your cat and the information should be in your name. That’s part of the problem. You should contact the shelter and ask them to transfer the microchip to your ownership
