At first when microchipping started I and other people we under the impression that you could track your dogs anywhere.
Well that wasn’t the case… so I’ve never thought Microchipping was that great… say my dog gets lost or someone takes it
Not everyone is going to be honest and say they just found the dog and therefore they may never be scanned for microchip.
I’m just curious because I know I would pay out the money for a GPS chip or device for my dogs
Do you think it will ever happen?
I just feel GPS would be the only real guarantee of getting your dog back
if its on the collar it wouldn’t matter people are dishonest and could just take it off.
Tracking dogs are usually used to find people, but I want to know if you have the person and wanted to find where they came from could you use a dog?

I haven’t had either of my dogs microchipped yet because I don’t know much about it and I’m not sure how I feel about it. Since they can’t GPS track them and its just luck if someone gets the dog and takes the dog to a vet or shelter and they check for it.
I see so many dogs on craiglist where someone found them and immediately tries to sell them
I’ve also heard that the chips can cause problems, pain and sometimes illness is this true.
We will be traveling with them soon and is it expensive to microchip….I know at the last vet we were at (before we moved) it was 75 per dog plus registration fee
We haven’t asked the new vet yet.
Where is the best place to get it done, probably the vet right?
We are in TN
What are the pros and cons….I know a pro is I heard a story about a husky that ended up 3 states away and the owner was able to get him back (He was stolen and sold)
Anyways thanks
My dogs are 14 months old and 10 months old
what are our affordable options…only one of us is working right now so if there is a cheaper way but still safe that would be great

I just took my dog to the vet to get her shots and i realized this booklet ResQ a pet tracking system. I wanted to know if your pet has one if she had any symptoms, or just your thoughts on this product or if theres something better out there? I know the prices vary. But i am a little confused because the ones i was reading online were 0+ i go to my vet and there charging around so they are different i just dont understand what the difference it. Is a ResQ chip kind of a GPS in a dog you call the vet or who ever and type in a number and you can find where your dog is? kind of what they have in cell phones. Or would you have to wait for someone to pick the dog up an officer or any kind person and take the dog in which then you would have to wait for to happen. So is this a good thing to have or not? I just need some clarification is all.
thanks

Does anyone know where I can get inexpensive tracking devices for my dogs in the event they get lost? I want to be able to look them up in the computer (sort of like a gps – map) and pick them up where they are by looking at the street/intersection/address where they are.

Dogs are now tracked by a small implated chip in their neck, it is registered with the dog regisrty and every time they go to a vet it’s scanned and if the dog is lost or stolen it will come up with owners info. Why can’t we do soething like this for our kids? and put sensors installed in public places when a lost or kidnapped child passes by a signal goes off and a GPS tracking device tells police where they are? Then at 18 they can have the chip removed if they want when they are on their own. Come on parents what’s your take on this? if you HAVE kids you know what I mean, you could maybe even check their where abouts 24 hours a day with a GPS web site service? no more wondering fi they are in school right now check the web site!! million dollar idea if you ask me!
Tell the parents of abducted children how LAZY they were to have their kids stolen from them! It’s a great idea to know 24/7 where kids are and it would also cut down the abductions for fear of the child having a chip in him or her.
Maybe have it so it’s not activated unless they are abducted? like lojac for kids? Hey even the Hospital nursery have a electronic tag system when babies are there.

i was wondering what is the purpose of paying for a collar to tra ck your pet when the person who finds them and wants them can just take it off if they wanted your pet i have a problem with people trying to keep my dogs when they jump my fence so i was going to get them one of those collars but i was wondering how secure is it and another thing if someone gets caught with your animal and they found it and it had tags and everything will they get in trouble?
ok its not like im a bad owner but my dogs are very pretty and there pure breed pitbulls and they are girls and i have a white one with blue eyes and a chocolate one with hazel eyes and a fawn boxer and both my pits got out before on different occusions and people were trying to keep them and show them off and i caught them my dogs can club my fence and when they do get out its cause my neighbor feed stray cats and they see them and want to chase them while there outside while im letting them out to go potty i might go get the phone and come back its that quick i think people should get in trouble for that it is technically like stealing
