All my dogs are microchiped and tatooed. Microchipping is also great for when dogs are stolen to prove who is the owner. My riley has two microchips one with the breeders info and one with my info. both microchips are recorded with the other, My name and social security nbr and birthday is the tatoo. Riley was put under to have it done. I will not tatoo a dog while it is awake. My dogs do not wear collars as it ruins their coats. I have special collars I use when I take them places.

I work at the citys animal care and control center. If all dogs were micro chipped and the information correct think of all the dogs that would not be put to sleep. I had a lady call 2 wks after the pet was missing. sounded like one we had pts because no one wanted to adopt it. I asked her why she didnt call sooner, her answer was only mutts go to the dog pound. Well i have a lot of purebred mutts in the pound. Microchipping can save many lives and stop a lot of heartache.
