And there appears to be no easy way to resolve the differences that preclude us from offering a sure fire way to protect all of our pets. BUT I do think that it is far better to chip than to not. If we see a microchip, even if we can't read it because we do not have the correct scanner, it buys a pet more time, and there is a stronger belief that that pet is "owned."<br /><br />I have spoken about Tagg, the GPS tracker and think that this is a great product also. It allows you to monitor your pets movements and to track them should they wander off.<br /><br />In the end it is imperative that pet parents understand that responsible pet care includes; training, direct oversight at all times, dedication, due diligence, and providing a safe environment. Sure accidents happen but the consequences can be significantly reduced with education and proper preparation.<br /><br />Thank You for your comment <br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Krista<br />krista magnifico, DVMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133566329579911573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667516629745731439.post-18888575517277366132013-07-24T09:43:30.753-07:002013-07-24T09:43:30.753-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.krista magnifico, DVMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133566329579911573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667516629745731439.post-71333286161774680382013-07-23T02:34:45.053-07:002013-07-23T02:34:45.053-07:00Great article and great advice; however, the micro...Great article and great advice; however, the microchip industry is in a terrible mess. I hope your readers also go to: http://www.swaylove.org/the-microchip-mess<br />The blog explains the many problems associated with chips and why you need to register your pets with as many groups as possible. It also turns out "universal" scanners aren't truly universal and may not read some chips.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16460359424242992746noreply@blogger.com
