They may be talking about a different type of dental cleaning, not deep scaling, if he only has a little yellow in the back. How old is he?
Microchip is cheap and easy, tiny like a grain of rice, but being under anesthesia makes it totally painless. It gives you a little peace of mind, but also if he's a runner and gets out, you might also want a collar with your phone # on it. There are differing opinions as to use a collar or not, and I put them on mine when they are in situations where they might accidentally get loose (like when we go to my daughter's house). It can make for a quicker return of your pup even than a chip. However, never use the collar with a leash for walking; then use a harness to protect their trachea. |
