As for microchipping -- I've always read to NEVER put their microchip # or that they are microchipped on a tag because then the thief won't take them to the vet so they don't ever get scanned. Or they will try to take out the microchip by themselves.
I keep his microchip tag (from the microchip company) and his rabies tag on my key ring. |
I agree with you, I think it's a mistake to put the fact that they have a microchip in them. I've found dogs over the years, and I'm always so happy to find one with a tag that has a telephone number. Sometimes the number is just to a local animal control who then contacts the owner and gives them my number. Joey's tags have the local animal control number as well as another tag with his AKC lost and found number. I think another tag with my phone number would be good too.
