Really surprised so many people are against having micro-chipped on the tag. As well a dog's name. I guess even though I heard it would detour a would be dog napper to see that a dog is micro-chipped as everyone seems to know they can't be removed or altered in anyway...but also to alleviate the stress a dog may be under if they were just found because for whatever reason they got lost and then someone who found them would know their name make them comfortable while calling...also not even think about keeping my dog because they read my dog is micro-chipped and registered to me...I don't know I'm really just surprised so many people think it is a bad idea to put on there in conjunction with name and cell #...still pondering the tattoo thing myself too. I guess I saw an opportune thief (I found it and will keep it) more than a person who sought out stealing my dog, but I think its more likely someone would have to put out effort to get one of my dogs like breaking in the house etc.
Really like the points about putting the medical needs of a dog on the tag and any meds they need (real or not) I have special needs information listed in the comments section of my microchip company but then again that's not readily available to anyone who finds or takes my dog...might get Scoobers allergies listed on his or something to note that and put that Elvis has seizure needs meds on his... |
