2 facts you may not know about microchipping
1. Animals should never be scanned for a microchip on a metal examination table or near other objects that may cause scanning interference like computers, metal objects and metal doorframes or while wearing a metal collar. This may cause a microchip to be missed. Yet many vet clinics and shelters routinely scan pets on an exam table. Please let them know that this isn’t a good practice!

2. Pets who are going to be microchipped should be kept quiet for several hours afterwards to allow the microchip to “set” in the tissue. This may prevent it from migrating to another location (another cause of a missed microchip) or being expelled from the injection site completely. When doing microchip events, owners should be informed that they should make the microchip station their last stop before heading home. They shouldn’t allow their dog to partake in other activities like obstacle courses, lure coursing or anything that involves running or jumping after the microchip is implanted.

CAN MICROCHIPS TRAVEL?YES!
Please Note Dog Owners AND Anyone who scans animals!
This is an X-ray of a dog’s flexed elbow (front leg). The tiny white shape on the forearm is a microchip that had been implanted at the dog’s shoulders. **This is why it’s important to scan for your dog’s microchip at every vet exam.** They drift, sometimes dramatically from where they are implanted. This chip was missed at the shelter where he was pulled from, as it would be missed by many vets or shelters. Yes, anyone scanning *should* be scanning the entire dog, but this doesn’t always happen and microchips do on rare occasion go bad and fail as well. It’s our responsibility as owners to ensure the chip is functioning and situated where it’s less likely to be missed. The benefits of having your pet microchipped far outweigh the risks, but that chip is useless if it can’t be located when needed. Also be sure it is registered with your up to date contact information!
