How many of you keep a collar on your dogs with an ID tag at all times? How many of you have all your dogs Micro chipped, regardless how small they are? Putting an ID on Gigi was done the same day that I got her. Good thing too, because she constantly tries to squeeze out the door after me. For a while, with training, she stopped that and would listen, but every once in a while she tries again. She is so fast at it too, no matter how careful I am. I am always worried that one of these days she is going to get her head slammed in the door. She has cost me to drop groceries and the garbage all over the place a couple of times. She's like lightening to get at the door and follow me! For Princess I had to do it right away too, because if I open the door and she sees a squirrel, she's gone. But now she listens well and stays in the chair by the window when I go out. Both of them got micro chipped right away too. I am a firm believer in both. Deanna's- Madison is a perfect example as to how many dogs never find their way back home. She's lucky, many are not. I remember last year when CA had those fires for so long....the SPCA said the main reason why so many dogs were never put back with their owners is because they were not microchipped and didn't have ID's on them. So their was no way to trace the displaced owners to their pets. You never know when an emergency is going to happen and your dog should be protected at all times, especially during the night, since that is when most emergencies do happen. The other reason why dogs are not reunited with their owners, even when they are micro-chipped is because the owners don't get on their computers and update the chip with new addressess and phone numbers. Also, it is very important to make sure that the chip is registered with the two UNIVERSAL SITES, and not just with the company that manufactures the chip. Here are the links for that, just in case some of you are not aware of that. http://www.petmicrochiplookup.org/Default.aspx http://www.checkthechip.com/HelpPage.aspx I just had two more ID's made at Petsmart. I love their machine! They can put 4 lines of info on each side of their ID's including the tiny ones for our little chi's! And they are only $7.50 each. Best deal that I found around! Now I have an ID on all of their collars, and don't have to go crazy, putting the ID's on and off every time I want to change their collars. When I walk the girls, I use a harness, but those collars with their ID will stay on them 24/7! ♥ Peggy & The Girls ♥ -- Sent from my Palm Pre
