| The vet does it. I cant remember how much it costs I had it done during the spay/neuter. I remember it was inexpensive though. The vet gives you a pamplet with the number to call and register the chip.

| Microchip Our vet has them and when you get it they give you the paper work to send in to register. If I remember right it costs about $35. They are registered at the vet and also at whatever microchip place, such as Home Again, or Avid. Hope this helps. |

| And its best if you can do it with the spay/neuter if you can because its a pretty good size needle that they use!

| My vet does it and he recommends it when I take Rocky in to get fixed in about another month or two. He said it cost at $40.00 and he will never fill a thing. |

| Edie is chipped. It cost $30 five years ago when we did it. The chip is large, about the size of a grain of rice, so the needle is large. You don't want to have this done unless the dog is anesthetized. Lots of dogs have them done during the spay/neuter. |

| petco's mobile vaccination unit named "i luv pets" or something like that, offers microchips by Home Again for like $30. you can also check with the local spca or animal control. the local animal control near me offers free or low fee microchipping clinics. the recommended donation is $10 for local county residents and $15 for non residents. |
