🐾 Everything you need to know about puppy microchips! 🐾
If you just brought home a new furry family member, microchipping is one of the most important steps you can take to keep them safe. But there are a few common myths to clear up:
❌ Myth: It's a GPS tracker.
✅ Fact: It won't track live locations. It is a permanent identification chip injected under the skin.
❌ Myth: Getting the chip is all you have to do.
✅ Fact: You MUST register the chip online with your contact details! If your puppy ever gets lost, a shelter or vet will scan the chip to get your information.
💡 Quick Tips:
• Vets usually implant them around 7–8 weeks old during routine vaccine visits. It feels just like a standard shot!
• Don't forget to update your online registry profile if you ever move or change phone numbers.
• A microchip doesn't replace a collar and tags—always keep physical tags on your dog for quick identification.
