Miss Piggy, a 5-year-old Pointer blend, is one of many animals at the Snake River Animal Shelter in Idaho Falls. Dr. Sweeney, who is not the woman in the photo above, discusses microchipping in the video above. Today, Dr. Sweeney, the veterinarian at Snake River Animal Shelter in Idaho Falls, discusses microchipping and why you should consider it for your pet. “It’s a way to scan your pet with a number so that if it comes into a vet clinic, a shelter or animal control, they can scan it. A number pops up and that number is associated with your phone number,” Sweeney says. It identifies you as the legal owner of the animal. Many people believe microchipping tracks your pet, but Sweeney says that’s not the case. Watch the video above to learn more. Stop by the Snake River Animal Shelter at 3000 Lindsay Boulevard to see animals available for adoption.The post Why this vet says you should microchip your pet appeared first on East Idaho News.
