The advances that the micro chip has brought to this world are mind boggling. It most certainty has a good reputation just on its own. Everywhere you turn there are mixed reviews. Most humane shelters do not scan for chips. Even fewer vets have scanners.
Micro chips can help humane agencies find owners quicker than usual.
Micro chips could be a profit center for veterinarians. Many shelters that did scan have told us that their employees get very tired of scanning and rarely or never coming across an implanted pet. Many, therefore, stop scanning. In some communities where chipping has been made mandatory, chipped pets are found regularly. Pet owners currently contact shelters, are put on a lost pet list and contacted when a similar pet is found.
