to chip or not to chip?

[robo-christ 40]

can you get other info put on the chip,like do not neuter(knowing what rescues are like for it)?or any special dietary requirements?

[HiLost 32]

Yes you can put other info on the chip records such as tattoo, neutered, special markings scars etc, well I know you can with Petlog, am sure other chip companies are the same

i got my lurchers chipped bot on one of them the chip migrated . . . . its now infront of his left shoulder

[HiLost 32]

This can happen, ive got a couple like that too, but all good rescue centres, vets etc should scan the whole dog and not just the neck area

Chip and tattoo.

 

Better to be safe than sorry, as a chip isnt proof you own the dog,

so if it did get stolen, and someone wanted to keep the dog, they could

unfortunaly if someone did that, there details would be protected

under the data protection act, sounds daft but you only own the chip

chips sometimes dont get picked up, and with vets - unless you ask them to

scan a dog you've just found, then they wont scan.

 

If the dog turns up at a rescue,pound or the dog warden,

then you have a chance, as most will scan them

although i have seen one or two dogs come in to rescue

were as the pound hasnt picked up the chip and the rescue has had

to contact the owner.

That only ever happens with the racing grey's, they do it so

the dog can not be traced, with lurchers its never happened

although if i remember right, couple of years ago 3 lurchers were stolen

and who ever nicked them, tried to remove the tats by useing acid,

all 3 dogs were recovered as they ended up dumped, the tats were still readable - just about.

good idear if you not running stuff you should not be running ........... and thay get your dog thay get you to.........

 

 

And your point is? So your saying you would leave your dog if you got caught out?

One small point to remember is, if the dog is 100% yours, it can be conviscated, but if you register the chip to a friend, or family member, you can say you borrowed it, and it needs to be returned to its owner.

 

100% chip it, but if you stray a little, maybe dont register the chip to yourself.
