Are you a new dog owner? If so, have you microchipped your pup yet? Has your vet talked to you about this process? Perhaps it’s already been done for you. Here’s what you need to know. Let’s say you’ve recently adopted a Yorkie. You should have received paperwork showing any vaccines that your Yorkie has had. Paperwork should also say if a microchip has been inserted. If you’re unsure, take your Yorkie to your vet and ask that he be scanned. If there’s a microchip, your vet can tell you the ID number and you can register the ID in your name so contact information with your vet and a microchip monitoring company is updated. If there’s no microchip, consider having it done. This can help ID your pet even if your pet has lost its ID collar. A microchip is inserted beneath the skin with a needle. The process is similar to receiving a shot. Click to learn more or call your veterinary clinic in Bend, OR.
