Microchips Help In Finding Your Lost Labradoodle
Over the years various methods have been used to try and increase the number of lost pets
reunited with their owners. Dog licensing and tag laws are one way local governments try to help, but they dont
work all that well. If a lost dog has lost its identification tag its nearly impossible for anyone to find the dogs
owner.
For many years owners of show dogs have used tattoos to put permanent identifying marks of their dogs. The
tattoo is placed on the skin of the inner thigh, near the abdomen and contains a unique number assigned by the
American Kennel Club. The tattoos arent readily visible to the average person, however, and shelter employees
seldom check for tattoos on the 'strays' brought to them on a daily basis.
A newer method of dog identification hopes to put an end to the number of lost dogs that cant be reunited with
their owners, or at least reduce it significantly. A microchip is inserted under your Labradoodles skin near the
shoulder. This chip contains encoded data about your dog can be read by a scanner. It is a more permanent method
than a simple metal tag, less painful and inconvenient to the dog than tattooing, and has a higher success rate
than any other method when it comes to getting lost dogs back together with their owners.
Now, this method isnt perfect; some microchips may shift over time and become unreadable to scanners and there
is alwasy the possibility,the microchip can become demagnetized. Its the best method developed so far and is now
being used all over the world.
Insertion of the microchip is a simple and nearly pain free process for your Labradoodles. Unlike
tattooing, which requires your Labradoodle to be restrained and often shaved, implantation of the microchip is
similar to an injection. After a tiny pinprick, its over and your dog can now be identified at any shelter equipped
with the scanning device. The information on the chip is unique to your Labradoodle and you and makes a reunion a
high probability instead of a remote possibility.
Thanks to microchip technology, we may have seen the last child crying over her lost dog and that would be the
best thing possible!
