Bydd rhoi microsglodion yn galluogi perchnogion i ganfod eu cŵn sydd wedi mynd ar goll a bydd yn osgoi’r straen ar gŵn a pherchenogion. Bydd hefyd yn golygu na fydd yn rhaid i gŵn dreulio cymaint o amser mewn sefydliadau lles anifeiliaid neu lety cŵn awdurdodau lleol, gan sicrhau arbedion sylweddol i awdurdodau lleol ac elusennau lles. Yn 2010/11 cafodd dros 126,000 o gŵn strae eu casglu gan Awdurdodau Lleol y DU. Nid oedd modd dychwelyd dros hanner y rhain (52%) i’w perchnogion gan nad oedd modd eu canfod. Yn ystod y flwyddyn ariannol a ddaeth i ben ym mis Ebrill 2012 cafodd 10,230 o gŵn strae eu casglu gan Awdurdodau Lleol Cymru. Cafodd 543 o gŵn eu rhoi i gysgu a threuliodd nifer uchel amser hir mewn llety cŵn, i ffwrdd o’u perchnogion neu eu teuluoedd.
Microchjpping will assist in reuniting owners with dogs that have strayed and will help to reduce the stress for both the dog and owner alike. It will also reduce the time a dog will spend in animal welfare establishments or Local Authority kennels leading to substantial savings for local authorities and welfare charities. In 2010/11 over 126,000 stray dogs were collected by UK Local Authorities. Of these, over half (52%) could not be returned to their owners because they were unidentifiable. For the financial year ending April 2012, 10,230 stray dogs were collected by Welsh Local Authorities. 543 dogs were put down and many others had a lengthy stay in kennels, away from their owner or family.
