Microchips are easily and quickly implanted just under the skin in a dog or cat. Once the chip is in place, it goes unnoticed by the animal due to its minute size, that of a grain of rice. This microchip is activated by a scanner that reads and transmits the identification number to a computer screen where it can be read.

Why aren't the animals bothered by the microchips?

• The chips are inserted under the skin.

• It is activated digitally, so it doesn't have to be touched.

• The dogs can't feel it.

• It is very small (the size of a grain of sand).

If your claim is kids should play different sports to keep all body parts healthy, which would be the strongest piece of supporting text evidence?

• The text states, “"We can get you back playing your sport … but what we can't do is prevent your arthritis in your knee," Matzkin said. Then "you're seeing young women in their 30s who can't keep up with their kids in the backyard."

• The article explains, “They need to encourage cross-training, or a variety of sports and exercise, and rest. That message can be hard to follow in increasingly competitive youth sports. More parents seem to hope for college scholarships and even professional play for their kids, said Dr. Andrea Kramer, an orthopedic surgeon at the Illinois Bone and Joint Institute.
