At Dogs Day Inn LLC cage free dog boarding we hear  about lost dogs everyday. If your dog has a chip you  would be notified that that beloved pet has been found.

   Many studies have shown, that up to 8 million dogs  end up in in animal shelters annually, with only 15% to 20% ever being reclaimed by their owners. Another study done with 7700 missing dogs 22% of them were returned to their owners due to having chips.

This doesn’t mean your dog is mean, as there are many reasons a dog doesn’t want to be petted by strangers or sniffed by strange dogs.
