Is it Important to Microchip your Dog?


According to dog expert statistics one in three pets become lost at some point during their lifetime. Your dog could certainly be one of the statistics. One way of helping to retrieve your lost dog is to use a microchip.

Swell! But how do microchips help you find your lost dog? Microchips use a radio-frequency identification transponder that carries a unique identification number. A vet or shelter can scan the microchip to reveal this number. No batteries required. No power required. Your vet will inject the microchip under the loose skin between the dog's shoulder blades; the procedure can be done in the vet's office and is no more invasive than usual vaccinations.

You will have to register the unique identifier in the chip with a national pet recovery database which is the secret to finding a lost dog. Be sure to use a recovery service that has access to different microchip databases and technologies.

At the time registration be sure to enter all your relevant contact information; enter both a landline and cell phone numbers for you and others in your household. Keep your contact information up to date with the registry.

Pets with microchips are far more likely to be reunited with their owners. Forget just using a collar. Collar can be taken off and thrown away. A microchip is your answer for finding a lost dog. It is simple and not expensive. Don't take a chance on losing your sweet companion. Microchip as soon as possible.
