If, Bentley has seen the vet, which I'm assuming he has by what the OP posted, shouldn't they have scanned him then? |
Vets do not scan for microchips unless asked. The only way a chip is any good is if the person who finds the dog is honest and cares about returning the dog to the owner.
It is still better to chip. I cannot tell you how many dogs are found that are not chipped.
