Microchips

&nbs= p; With technology the way it is today I can’t see why someone wouldn’t have their dog micro chipped any more. Today companies have universal scann= ers and are making the chips more readable by other scanners. It is in their be= st interest to do so. As if they don’t they limit their market drastical= ly.

&nbs= p; Some of the animal controls will even take dogs back home if they are micro chip= ped and they can find out where the dog lives.

Also even in the event a dog is taken, I know of anoth= er story where a dog made it home about 9 months later when the dog that was picked up while the original owner was training. The dog jumped out of the person yard who took the dog and tried to keep it as his own. This dog was scanned by animal control when caught and they called the registered owner = and the dog was given back to original home and owner. Talk about a great Chris= tmas present all because of the micro chip.

&nbs= p; There are many other stories where the micro chip has help and this is getting to= be more the common then rare.

There are also other small benefits to the Microchip a= nd AKC where when a responsible owner OFA’s before considering breeding the = OFA results will only be posted on the AKC pedigree Provided that the dog is mi= cro chipped or tattooed.

&nbs= p; The other thing about Micro chips they can not be altered like tattoos can.

&nbs= p;

Yes they can migrate, but they can be found provided t= hose with scanners do what the instructions say which is very simple to do.

&nbs= p; There is one company that includes extra info incase your dog is picked up and th= ey can attain if there is any medical problems to if your dogs needs medical attention and how much they can do before your contacted

Yes those chips have come a long way. Making them a ve= ry worth while investment for your companion.
