I dont like that. I dont like microchips, I like tatoos MUCH better, and I will certainly never microchip,
There's certainly no harm in mircochipping. I, too, doubt it's value at times, as there is only one place in our entire county that has a reader, and it isn't even a common brand. But, there really isn't any harm in having it done, especially if you travel or live in a larger city.



dogs here are required by law to be licenced that does'nt mean we licence them.
No offense, Cali ... but it's dog owners that blatantly disreagard the laws and rules that give all dog owners a bad name. People who don't like dogs, don't want dog park, are pressing for BSL and insurance bans ... people like that just love to quote people like you, and use phrases like what you said above to hold over all our heads. Please reconsider, and follow the rules. You hurt all dogs and all dog owners when you break laws and rules.


I agree with what Shelteez said about tattoos also being difficult to read at times. I personally think responsible dog owners do everything they can to prevent their beloved dogs from being lost - collars with tags, microchips, tattoos. You can never be TOO prepared, and having multiple forms of ID for your pet will only increase his odds of coming home.
