Since your dog was adopted from one of the local animal care centers, he has been equipped with a microchip. This microchip is roughly the size of a single grain of rice and has been implanted just beneath your pet’s skin, between their shoulder blades. All animal control officers, animal care facilities, and veterinary hospitals scan stray animals for microchips. It is important for you to register your pet’s microchip with the microchip company.
You must also keep your microchip information up to date! Owners frequently fail to update their microchip information when they move or change their phone number and pets end up stranded at the local animal care facility without any owner information.
Microchips are a great identification tool, but they are no substitute for ID tags. Be sure to equip your pet with a personal ID tag, complete with current phone numbers and address.
