| Microchipping Took Sadie and Scooter and got them microchipped yesterday. Thor and Little bit were done when they got fixed. Sadie had some bleeding but it stopped. They all are fine and the process did not seem to bother them at all. I was wondering how many other YT members have their pets microchipped and how much did it cost you? Did your fur babies have any reaction to the chip ? I went to a low cost spay and neuter clinic and it only cost me 20 dollars per dog. None of my fur babies had a problem with the chip or the the process of putting it in. I am so happy I had this done.

| I had it done at the vets during spay/neuter and it was $35 which is low but you got a much better deal. I got my cats spayed at a spay/neuter clinic and wish I had got them chipped but I didnt because I was getting 5 cats spayed and shots so I was topped out. Those spay/neuter clinics are a great way to save money I want to take my yorkies there for shots but my Husband wont let me so I just take the cats. Our spay neuter clinic will even do wellness checks so the only reason you need to go to a regular vet is for dentals and if there is a health problem

| I had it one to my older yorkie when he was about 6 months, he had no reaction but it did move down to his shoulder area with time, we plan on getting the little one done when she is older as well, I think we paid around 40.00 for Kiwi's. Worth the money for a little piece of mind!

| Both of my cats were microchipped at the shelter we adopted them from and it didn't seem to bother them too much. The price of the microchip was included in their adoption fee ($75 for both of them! ). With the dogs, I had them microchipped while they were under for their spay and neuter. I believe it was around $35? They never knew they were microchipped, and it gives me the piece of mind knowing they are.

| We live in the UK too At our Vet's, it was done at the time of Harry's initial vaccinations - and was included in the price. I think to have it done separately was about £10 GBP which is so cheap. There are 2 different types of microchip over here - the basic one, or the one that incorporates a thermometer so 'it' never has to go up his little bottom again , they just scan his neck if they need to take his temperature. Guess that's the same all over the world! Sally + Harry x |

| My boys were microchipped by their breeder when they were pups. Glad to hear all went well with your little ones.

| Kiko was microchipped when she was at the vet for vaccines and wellness check at about 13-14 weeks. It cost about $20 (we go to a military vet clinic). She had a little, tiny scab that healed quickly. Didn't seem to bother her any more than the shots. |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | My son does the microchip in all my dogs, it cost me about $12.00 per dog, no reaction, all my litters of pups go home already microchiped, and I am the second contact in case of any emergency. I am glad you have your pup done, is a peace of mind in case your baby gets lost too... |

| Of the 3 I have now. Lizzie was chipped when we stationed at Ft. Lee (Military Base) at that time it cost me nothing. Allie and Willow are Rescues and they were chipped by the Rescue group. All my others were chipped as well.

| All of my dogs are michrochipped. I do it myself. The cost is the price of the chip which is $10 -$15 depending on where i order them or if they're on sale at the time. I started michrochipping probably about 12-13 years ago. I used to have/breed Miniature Dachshunds (nice one's for show and companion) and I michrochipped all my dogs and puppies.. even my companion puppies that were placed on spay/neuter contracts. this way the vet doing the spay/neuter could scan the chip and put the chip number on the proof of spay/neuter. Plus the new puppy owner didn't have to pay to have it done. The michrochips are great in my opinion. I think all dogs should have them. I purchased the Home Again system back then. So my scanner will only read Home Again chips. It will tell me if there is an Avid chip in the dog but won't give me the actual AVID number. They didn't have the dual readers back when I purchased mine. I haven't put Paisley's chip in yet. I just haven't done it.. no reason, just not got to it yet. As for skin reaction or infection.... I have michrochipped several dogs and pups and I have never had a reaction or an infection from inserting a chip. It's pretty easy to do and doesn't seem to hurt them after the stick of the needle. The needle is bigger than a needle you would use for a vaccine so they do feel the stick for sure. I usually rub the skin a bit and then clean with rubbing alcohol and then insert the chip and then rub the skin a little more. Paisley will be getting her's put in soon.

| Before Reese was stolen I had him neutered for $30 and microchipped for free. It was a hurricane preparation thing they did after we were hit by a major hurricane the previous year. |

| Allie and Noah were chipped by the breeder. Westley hadn't been chipped yet. The breeder I got him from doesn't chip. I wish she did, but oh well. He will be getting chipped at his next Appt next week.
