No. Dogs or puppies cannot be tracked even though they have microchips... but if they are found, a shelter or vet clinic that has a scanner can track the dog/puppy's owner and take him/her back to their home. But if wondering if you can track the dog's location, you cannot.

its not a law anywhere that states that a dog (or cat) must be microchipped. but its a good thing to get. incase it's stolen or runs away, then later is found, they get scanned and whalla your pet is home agian.

The microchips commonly implanted in dogs and cats at shelters or by veterinarians are for identification purposes and can only be read if scanned. These types of chips can not be tracked.

If your dog is ever allowed to go outdoors by itself without a leash, it should definitely be microchipped.

Yes, microchipping is a very low risk procedure. It is a small piece of plastic about the size of a grain of rice that is inserted just under the skin.

How much can you expect to spend on a labrador retriever throughout its entire life time?

This question is impossible to answer. You need to spend between £6 and £10 a week on dog food normally. You should buy a bed, toys, lead, collar. You should prepare for any house damage. You should get your dog neutered to prevent any unwanted pregnancies and also micro-chipped to help find your dog if it runs away. You may need to prepare for any medical emergencies and then any medication after. Also, in old age dogs may need to talk medication on a regular basis. As i said, this is impossible to answer.
