SAVE THIS LIFE MICROCHIPS NOTICE 2/12/25
To our valued clients,
Unexpectedly Save This Life Microchips are no longer able to be auto enrolled by our clinic for our clients, at no charge with the life time guarantee.
These chips themselves are still universal and work very well, the only change is the enrollment process.
If you have received a Save This Life microchip from us in the past 3 months 11/12/24-2/12/25 we will be refunding the $19.99 enrollment fee as a credit to your account. If you are qualified and refunded, you will receive an email from us, and you can choose if you would like to keep that amount on your account or put it back on your original form of payment.
Below is a list of companies through which the microchips can be enrolled to, once they have been implanted. It is recommended microchips previously enrolled to the Save This Life registry should be moved to a new microchip registry as well, since their platform is no longer widely supported.
These microchips can be enrolled for free using:
- Buddy ID (free until 2/28/25 ; must call to have free registration)
- 24petwatch
These microchips can be enrolled for a fee with lifetime guarantee using:
We are here if you have any questions, and appreciate your patience and understanding through this unexpected bump in the road.
If you are looking for something not available with the above options, visit ahaa.org for a list of AHAA approved microchip registries.
Hoping you and your pets are happy and healthy,
