| Micro Chip Hi My name is Amy. I have a male Yorkie named Henry. He is 1 yr. I took him to get Micro Chipped last Saturday. I felt kinda bad for doing it b/c the needle was so big. He whined alittle, but was back to his busy self in moments. Is micro chipping worth it? I was told it was great. (By my Vet) Has anyone else done this?

| Micro Chip I can feel it, but I thought it was because he just had it done. I just hope it is ok. I worry so much about my York. The Vet said Yorkies are easily stolen out of yards, ect... and with Micro chipping its easy to scan and find the right owners.

| I see nothing wrong with it other than religious beliefs of course........I won't get mine microchipped for personal reasons but I think it's a great idea for others who are okay with it.

| I got Benji microchipped too. I think it is great to know that all his info is on him at all times. He doesn't wear a collar because his momma doesn't want him to get it caught on something when she isn't home....hehe....

| Trixie is microchipped. I was told that because the needle is so thick and they are so tiny, it's better to have it done when they're under. So I got it done when Trixie got spayed. But they're tough little ones!

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | All 4 of mine are micro-chipped. It is one way of keeping them safe. |
