Updated: Mar 6

Truffo: Vita! Emergency! Dog crisis!

Vita: What now? Did someone steal your favorite stick?

Truffo: Worse! A microchip company just vanished. POOF. Gone.

Vita: Wait… the things that help lost pets get home?

Truffo: Yep. Save This Life shut down, and no one knows where the data went.

Vita: That’s bad. Like, REALLY bad.

Truffo: Yup. But not for us! Premier Truffles puppies are chipped and registered with a company that actually still exists.

Vita: Phew! But what about other pets?

Truffo: Good question. Let’s break it down for the humans.

Save This Life Microchip Shutdown: What You Need to Know

If your pet’s microchip starts with "991" or "900164" and is a 15-digit number, you’ve got a problem.

The company, Save This Life. shut down—no warning, no emails, no nothing.

Calls? Lines are all dead.
Emails? Auto-replies.
Even the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) removed them from their national database.

So if your pet is registered with Save This Life and gets lost… uh-oh.

🐾 Step 1: Check Your Pet’s Chip

Look at your vet paperwork.
No records? Get a vet or shelter to scan your pet.
If the number starts with 991 or 900164, you need to switch registries. It's likely a 15 digit number.

🐾 Step 2: Re-Register It Somewhere That WorksHere are real registries still in business:

✅ AVID PETtrac – Lifetime registration, no annual fees. Register here

✅ PetLink – Free registration for any chip brand. Visit PetLink

✅ AKC Reunite – Lifetime enrollment. Check it out

✅ HomeAgain – 24/7 lost pet recovery. Register here

🐾 Step 3: Keep It UpdatedA microchip is useless if your phone number is outdated. Check it. Fix it. Done.

If you’ve got a Premier Truffles puppy, relax. All our pups come microchipped and registered with a trusted service. You’re good.

Truffo: See? The best humans.

Vita: Agreed. But let’s help other pets too. Share this post before more humans panic.

Big wags and safe paws,🐾 Truffo & Vita 🐾
