To Microchip or Not to Microchip your Dog


 
Here are some pros and cons to Microchipping. The cons are that if your dog is lost or stolen and then found he can only be identified by a professional that caries that scanner to read the microchip. If your dog is found by someone who doesn’t take the dog to a vet or pound for a microchip read then the ID of the dog won’t be discovered. Also, microchips aren’t tracking devices. If your dog goes missing, the company monitoring the chip will only spot your dog if the chip is scanned. There is no way to electronically track your dog or use the chip to locate your dog. The pros include the fact that your dog can have ID on him at all times. The chip connects directly to you. The chip is also easy to place. It is inserted with a syringe and gives a slight pinch like a shot. Talk to your vet clinic Portland, OR to learn more. Visit this website for more information.
