It is not a GPS tracker that can find missing pets. Most GPS devices require a monthly cellular fee and battery charging on a weekly basis. Microchips are for owner identification purposes only. A dog owner is only identified by microchip when someone scans your missing pet with the proper scanning device. This can typically be done by an animal control officer or vet. Always update your pet's chip information online with your current location and contact information. This way, if a well meaning person finds your pet and brings them to be scanned, you information will be associated with the chip number, improving your chances of being notified.

Great article thanks for clarifying how important it is to realise that a microchip is not a GPS tracker and instead is designed for owner identification only. Knowing this will definitely help pet-owners make smarter decisions. And by the way, reading this while I’m enjoying my Chicken Shashlik and Rice made it even better — thanks for the helpful info!
Great article! It’s really helpful to see how a microchip isn’t the same as a GPS tracker—so many people assume they’re one and the same. I especially appreciated the clarity around how microchips serve as permanent identification rather than real-time tracking. By the way, as someone who keeps a close eye on investments and markets (including the Montenegro Real Estate Market, it’s interesting to see how even in pet tech we have to understand the underlying functionality and not just the marketing. Thanks for sharing this useful breakdown!
Great explanation! A lot of pet owners still confuse microchips with GPS trackers, so this post clears things up nicely. It’s similar to how in safety gear, people often overlook the difference between protection types—like how Leather Welding Sleeves offer specific defense against sparks. Clear and informative read!
This was a really helpful read! Many people still assume a microchip works like a GPS, so this clarification is important. It’s great to see awareness being spread about responsible pet tracking. By the way, I think technology like GPS tracking apps and Custom Software Development Services can further improve how we locate lost pets in the future.
