  10. If your pet is missing and microchipped, verify your contact information is up-to-date with the microchip company and inform them your pet is missing.
  11. If you have found a stray that is microchipped most veterinarians and animal shelters have microchip scanners that allow them to read the chip number and get in touch with the microchip company to report the pet as found. The microchip company then reaches out to the owner to let them know their pet has been located and where.
