Microchip technology is found everywhere, from computers and cell phones, to implants in wild animals for tracking their movements, to pet microchips (I Marv have one) that provides identification information.Why should pets have microchips instead of a tattoo? Cinnamon had a tattoo. BUT tattoos can be hard to read. Cinnamon's was in her ear. It became faded over time, and the numbers were unreadable. Even when they are readable, the information about the pet and its owner can be difficult to obtain since there are no common databases for this information.
When Mom and Nutmeg got home, Mom went to the website, created a profile, added our information and that was it! The microchip package also came with a collar tag with contact information on it and Nutmeg's ID number. Nutmeg wanted to know if the chip worked like an Air Tag (GPS TRacker). Nope. It has no battery and is totIlly inert. it is read by a special reader that vets and shelters have. So no, Mom can't track her with her phone (like she does her keys).
Microchips are now mandatory for all dogs travelling to the US, along with their Rabies vaccine information. Are you Microchipped?
Oh Yes! Nutmeg wanted you to know that she does not have to wear a collar of shame, she got a onesie!
