Microchipping Your Dog Can Save His Life

Lost Dog Success Story

It happened in an instant. The gardener left the gate open and the family’s dog ran away. Two years later and more than 3,000 miles away, someone across the country identifies the lost dog. The dog reunited with his family thanks to his microchip. Watch the video below to watch this amazing story unfold.

Fortunately, stories like this are becoming more common due to microchipping. A microchip combines RFID technology with cloud-based database management to help lost pets return to their families.

The benefits of microchipping your dog include:

  • Pets are not bothered once the microchip is placed.
  • The device can be implanted in less than a minute.
  • Microchips can’t be disfigured, removed or tampered.

Microchips, as with identification tags, can greatly benefit your dog should he ever get lost. If you do decide on microchipping your dog, make sure your contact information is accurate and in the system. For more questions concerning microchips, talk to your veterinarian’s staff.
