Drawbacks of just having the microchip ID:

• Some people believe that microchips can be tracked by GPS. That's not true.
• The lowest rate for lost pet recovery has ... the microchip (if you use it as single ID-platform).
• Microchip-IDs are not visible IDs.
• Most people don't know that your animal could have a chip-id-tag.
• An animal must be scanned before detecting a chip-id-tag.
• An animal must be taken to a veterenarian (or police or fire-department) to get scanned. A lot of police- or fire-deparments don't even HAVE a RFID-Scanner.
• After 7pm or on holidays it is very unlikely to find an open facility to scan your animal.
• The microchip ID-Tag should NEVER be the primary Identificationtool. Use it wisely as a backup!
