That's the exact reason why you should have your dog chipped because they just might scan for the chip. I can guarantee if I found a dog I would have it scanned, first thing...but if there are no tags and no chip then what? If your dog is stolen and you spot it somewhere that chip may be the only proof you have that it's your dog. As for the chip moving around, when my vet scanned my boys to be sure the chip read they scanned over the entire body, not just the shoulder area...that scanner will pick up the chip on a small dog even if it moved some. I guess it isn't for everyone but I know it did give me a little more peace of mind after I had the boys done. |
Diesel doesn't run loose. As for sneaking out of the house... Well thats not a big deal. When we let him out to go pee we just open the door and let him go. I walk out with him and when he is finished he comes and stands beside me. I live in the county on a mountain so I don't have to worry about city streets.I know that some dogs will run if given the chance. Diesel isn't like this. I see no point in getting the chip. If he was the type of dog that would run just given the chance then I MIGHT would think about it. I also don't worry about someone stealing him. He is never left alone outside because of the Hawks in the area. I don't leave him in the car alone either.
Everyone has to do what they feel is right. There is no right and wrong answer.
