Risks Of Microchipping Your Dog

  • Dog Care

What are the risks of microchipping your dog? That is a question that many people ask themselves when they hear about it for the first time. There has been a lot of controversy and discussion around the topic, with some people saying that it’s good to do and others saying that it’s bad. This article will discuss what microchips are and their potential risks.

What Are Dog Micro Chips?

A dog microchip is a small device that has information stored in it. The information can include the owner’s name and address or even medical records about the dog. It is implanted under your pet’s skin using what looks like an oversized syringe, but with a needle on one end instead of anything to draw liquid out. The process itself isn’t harmful or uncomfortable for your pet at all; they don’t feel any discomfort during the implantation process because no nerves are surrounding where it goes into their body! Once inserted correctly, this little chip will stay in place just fine unless you want to remove it later. 

How Do Dog Microchips Work?

 

Dog microchips work by using radio frequency identification (RFID). When your pet gets scanned through one of these devices, called scanners or readers, you will be able to find out all kinds of information about them. Once scanned, it will show you their name and the owner’s contact information which is usually kept in a database. It can also reveal any medical conditions that your dog may have.
