Also, as far as microchipping goes, once it's in, how does it work? Is it like a GPS, or is it just something that if my dog is lost and he's returned to a shelter they can find me? If he's stolen, how does it help me unless there's a GPS? |
Yorkies are in the category of dogs who need the most grooming of all.
The microchip does not work as a GPS. I wish it did. The microchip requires scanning by a handheld device and is used for identification purposes only. Vets and most shelters have scanners. It's like a mini ID tag inside your dog. The microchip offers backup identification in case a dog isn't wearing an ID tag.
