Almost on a daily basis, pet owners lose their dogs and most of them fail to see them again. It has been estimated that around 5 -7 million dogs enter shelters annually and it’s only 15 – 20 % of the dogs that get lost who end up being reunited with their owners but you can always increase the probability of getting to reunite with your dog when it gets lost through the veterinary technology.
Consulting your vet is the first step to take towards embracing the technology. Your dog can have a microchip implanted into its skin. The chips have contact information which can be scanned to reveal their homes whenever they get lost. That ensures your furry friend will always be safe and sound.
The story of Dora which has been covered in the video below illustrates the importance of adopting the technology. Dora got lost and was separated from her owners for 7 months, but thanks to the microchip which had been implanted under her skin, her owners were easily located.
We all need incredible reunions like Dora’s story whenever our pets get lost. We must ensure that our pets do not end up making the statistics the same way many belonging to other owners have done.
Watch the incredible scene unfold, as a lost dog suddenly recognizes her best friend after seven long months apart in the video below – this is absolutely heartwarming!
