If you decide to do it, don't put the chip number on a tag she is wearing, if she's stolen, you don't want the thieves to even know that she has a chip. Many dogs are returned because someone takes them to the vet, and he discovers the chip. |
that is exactly why i wanted to do this. my mom is anti chipping because she believes it will lead to people wanting to chip their children and she think that is terribly wrong.
i don't think i would ever consider doing that to my child, but a dog is different and i would want her back if she's stolen and i know when they screw up and take her to the vet or something there's a better chance of her coming back to me
