Microchipping

For those of you who follow The Pack on Facebook or Twitter you will be aware that Tia went missing lately. She was only gone for 40 minutes but I was frantic. One of the reasons I was so worried is that Tia is yet to be microchipped. It is something I intend to learn and I have applied for a course and so always thought that I would get to chip her myself. The night she went missing I wished more than anything that I hadn't let my selfish needs get in the way of allowing someone else to chip her. I had assumed that she would be fine without it as she was registered with the missing pets bureau, however I have recently discovered that, unfortunately, these guys are no longer running due to financial troubles because of our recent economic climate. When I found this out I realised just how easy it would be for me to lose her completely. While out on walks on Monday I met two guys looking for a young Siberian Huskey. She had been missing for 3 hours so these guys were really starting to worry. I have contacted the owner since and they did manage to get Mya back but it has really got me thinking. It is so important for dogs to be microchipped in order for them to be returned home to their rightful owner if they go missing. It is something that all dog owners should consider an essential when it comes to keeping their dog safe. For anyone who has a missing pet please feel free to contact me and I will get their details on the blog.
