I
so wish people would microchip their pets.
I just picked up a dog on the side of the road. He was soaking wet, very dirty and his fur was very matted. He was very friendly, though, came right to me when I called him and was happy to hop in my van.
He had on a collar but no tags. I drove to the nearest house to see if he lived there or if they knew where he belonged, but no one was home.
We were about half a mile from the county animal shelter, so I drove over there so they could scan him for a chip but of course he didn't have one. So I left him there and they will try to find his owner or else to find him a home.
It seems obvious he belongs somewhere because he is so friendly and is used to riding in a car and also walks nicely on a leash. If only he had a microchip, he might be back home already instead of at the shelter.
Microchips are not expensive and it is a simple procedure. They are injected, like giving a vaccine. I saw Whiskers get hers and it didn't appear painful at all. They are the best way to make sure a lost pet gets back home. Of course a dog should have tags, too, but those can get lost. A microchip can't.
