This is a common misconception and while it would be nice, charging the battery would be challenging!
Instead, a microchip contains a unique identification number. When a lost pet is found, a shelter or vet clinic can scan the chip and use that number to find the ownerโs registered contact information.
That means microchipping is only half the job! Make sure your petโs chip is registered and that your phone number and address stay up to date.
Not sure whether your pet is chipped or whether the information is current? Your vet can scan for a chip and give you the number so you can check.
