Mine are chipped and so glad. I discussed all the pros and cons with my vet before we did it and he said that with dogs - it is not a problem. He has not seen any problems at his office in all the years he has ben practicing. Cats though have had some problems, he stated.
I heard of one story where a person was pulled over while on vacation (small problem) and they did not have a copy of their rabies/shot record with them and the officer called animal controlled and picked up their pet. When they went to go pick him up there was a problem of ownership and proof he was their dog. Luckily they had him microchipped and was able to prove it was their dog and got him back right away. |
