ONE COMMON MISCONSEPTION ABOUT PET MICROCHIPPING

Pet Parents Need To Read This

By Teebee And TammyPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

Most every pet parent now a days wants to keep their pets safe in every way including making sure they never get lost. One thing pet parents do to keep their pets from being lost is to microchip them which is an excellent thing to do but there is one misconception people think about microchipping their pets. That is what I want to talk about below because the goal is to keep every pet safe in their loving home.

Microchipping Is Not GPS Tracking

When some pet parents get their pets microchipped they then assume their pet is safe and they will always be able to get reunited if their pet gets lost. Well that assumption would be wrong. The reason why pet parents think this way about microchipping their pets is because they think of it as a GPS or some system they can just get into if their pet is lost to know exactly where they are. Microchipping is not GPS tracking. Microchipping is a great thing to do for your pet but it just does not work like that. If your pet is microchipped and gets lost someone has to find your dog, take your dog to a shelter or other places that can scan the microchip, then they contact the information on the microchip to let the pet parent know they found their pet. Then the pet and parent can be reunited but I have seen where pet parents do not think to update the microchip information like if they moved or changed their telephone number so even though the pet is microchipped the owner is never found because he or she has the outdated information. So if microchipping does not fully keep your pet safe to where you yourself can know where your dog is what else can we do as parents to know where they are? Well I answer this is the next section.​

Best Way To Keep Your Pets Safe And Home

The best way to keep pets safe and at home is something I have already talked a little about and that is getting them a GPS tracking device. This way you yourself can just pull up an app or call a service to find out where your pet is. Now there are all different kinds of GPS pet tracking devices out there on the market and we encourage everyone to do their research to find the best one that fits their needs as always. But let me tell you about the one we like in the next section because we want everyone to have the opportunity to keep their pets safe at home with them always.

Why We Like Award Winning Trackipet GPS Tracking

One of the tracking devices and services we like is Trackipet. The reason why we like it is for many reasons. The device is small and inexpensive which can be clipped on to any existing collar or harness. It really can be used for anything you want to track without being limited to just having it embedded into a collar. I know people who use it to track their purse by clipping the device inside the purse. The GPS tracking service is also very inexpensive. These are just a few reasons why we like Trackipet. If you are interested in checking them out just click the button below and check them out for yourself. If you do not like them it is ok but we encourage every pet parent to get some form of GPS tracking for their pet because the most important thing here is keeping them safe in your loving home and happy!
