microchip your pet

if your love your pet get them microchipped
I just got back from the vet. i found 2 dogs roaming the street. one had a collar but no tags the other had no collar at all.
the vet ran a chip scanner over them. one dog had a chip. they were able to find out who the owner is in about 5 minutes...
this is the 2nd time in the past few months Ive found a lost dog with a chip...

If you love your pets get them microchipped. its cheap and unlike a collar which can break,be slipped out of or removed a chip stays with the pet...

the risk of a pet getting cancer from a microchip is so much smaller than the risk of them getting lost.
