To Microchip, or Not Microchip? That Is the Question

You love your dog more than anything. The thought of losing them is beyond comprehension. It won't happen to me! you say. But the reality is…. dogs get lost all the time. When this happens, you can do your best to locate your dog by hanging Lost flyers up around town, and checking the neighborhood for signs of your pooch, but sadly, many lost dogs end up in far-away shelters.

Some are fortunate and are adopted into happy new homes but many are tragically euthanized. The latter is a heartbreak that can be avoided if one small step is taken by the dog’s owner: Proof of identity.

It is important that your dog has identification at all times. While collars and tags are essential, they can fall off or become damaged, or removed.

Technology has made it possible to equip your pet with a microchip for permanent identification. It’s not hard to do and it’s relatively inexpensive. Still, some dog owners are hesitant …

But why?

On the following page, we'll tell you more about microchiping your dog, the benefits and why this should be something on your To Do list.

  1. Animals that are microchipped get home faster then ones that are not when in a shelter. Collars can break off, people can take them off you can’t lose a microchip. I can’t tell you how many dogs and cats I see at the shelter that don’t go back to there original owner. Ones that are microchipped go home hours after they have gone missing when picked up by animal control.
