Did you know that June is National Microchipping Month, and yesterday was Missing Mutts Awareness Day.
In Australia, we are pretty lucky that stray dogs are relatively rare. But what does happen all the time is a dog slipping out of a gate, being found by a neighbour or council ranger, and sitting in a pound because their microchip is locked to an old phone number or a previous owner.
Do you know if your details are up to date? Let this be a reminder to log into your registry (do you know where to look?) and make sure your current mobile number is active.
💔 What if your dog is already chipped and has just gone missing?
Don't panic—there is a very specific sequence of steps you need to take immediately with Australian registries, councils, and local vets to get them home fast.

🌧️ Grey, rainy Sunday? Let’s use this indoor time to do something incredibly important for our dogs. June is National Microchipping Month, and today is Missing Mutts Awareness Day.

While it's miserable outside today, take 5 minutes to log into your registry (do you know where to look?) and make sure your current mobile number is active.
