Whats the deal with microchipping?
Microchipping your pet is very important. It gives you indisputable proof of ownership should your pet be lost or stolen, and makes it easier to trace you as the owner. Everyone scans pets for proof of identification now- vets, SPCA, animal control, etc. It is a good thing to have a microchipped puppy. The only places that do not offer it are not willing to spend the money chipping your pet for you, and they give excuses such as the puppy mill refuses to offer microchipping, or other ridiculous reasons. A puppy from a reputable breeder or pet store will always be microchipped! Lack of knowledge shows ignorance, do your homework.
