If you have the chip number and the company, you can call the chip company and update the information. If not, your vet can scan the pet for the chip number. You can use aaha website to put the chip number in which will give you the company name to call and update

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Congratulations on your new dog! I would take him to your regular veterinarian to have his number scanned. Once you have the microchip number, you can contact the company that makes it (HomeAgain, etc) to have the information updated to your contact information.

You can essentially do this yourselves. Just have her microchip scanned by Petco or any available facility, have them give you the microchip number, then go to this website to look up which company it is registered through --> http://www.petmicrochiplookup.org/ Once you get the contact info for the microchip company, you can then just call them yourself and identify yourself as the pets new owner, and go from there. I hope this helps and best wishes with your new puppy! Take care : )
