I keep Jackson's rabies tag and microchip tag on my key chain. They are ugly, I don't want them on his collar, LOL.

Plus I don't particularly want people to know he's microchipped. IF he ever were to get stolen for some reason, or someone found him and wanted to keep him, they may not take him to the vet if they knew he was microchipped and could be scanned. I've also heard scary stories of people who steal dogs cutting the microchip out themselves... yikes!

Edit.... just saw the posts above! Yeah it's an iffy situation! I dunno... I just don't feel it necessary for him to be wearing it.
