When your vet asks if you want to microchip your dog he is essentially asking you if you want a small electronic chip placed under your dog’s skin. The chip has a number that is recorded by your vet and reported to a tracking agency. The number is connected with your name, number and other information that you provideD. The chip is inserted under the dog’s skin between the shoulder blades. The chip can be read by a chip reader/scanner. Once the device scans your dog and picks up the chip the device will flash the ID number which will then be called in and reported and matched to the owner if the information is on file. It’s a great way to help ensure your dog doesn’t get lost. For more details, click here or call your animal hospital Portland, OR.
