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!
