It's great that you are doing this. But, don't rely on it alone. Microchips float, especially on active dogs. My girl Gabby, was micro-chipped 3 times and they still didn't find her for me.
But, the good news is that she was taken in by a rescue and they placed her in a wonderful home with children, which she always loved. I chose not to pursue getting her back after 2 years. It was enough to know that she is loved and happy.

Put all the identification tags you can on your dog even if you do have them micro-chipped! AND everytime you go in to see the vet or are somewhere that they can scan your dog.... HAVE IT DONE to be sure it has not floated

I am aware that they float and to have them checked each time to make sure its in place. Also down at one of our shelters they have a scanner and they will scan your dog for you anytime just to make sure it hasn't floated, whether you have adopted from them or not. Its great they do that for the community.

And she always has a collar with her tags on, that won't change.
