Mine are all chipped. And when you go for your annual exam, you can ask them to scan for the chip to make sure the chip is functioning and in the right spot as well.

They also have collars and ID tags. And while I understand that each State and Province might have different protocols; when-ever I have brought a new dog in, and or puppy in, the first the vet does is scan for a microchip; I also have to show proof of purchase as well, other than of course for the puppies I might have bred.

As a CKC breeder, we need to permanently identify our puppies prior to placement in homes; we can use either a tattoo or a microchip.

The AKC also requires permanent identification prior to registering your dog with AKC.
