| Hello Ichabob: I just had my yorkie, done last week Friday; usually once the vet places the chip in your little yorkie, it should stay in the same position. Usually the chip is placed, just behind the should blade of your pup. I suppose you could check every three months if you wanted. Just make sure that the chip that is being placed, is up to standards, I think the standard is ICS, but I am not sure about this, so please feel free to check for yourself. Tulip |

| micro chip Everytime I take my dogs to the vet for any reason, I always have them scan my dog's microchip to make sure it is working.

| I second that!!! Not only does my Veterinarian scan every patient that comes into her office, but she also has a stand in her office with a scanner that allows all furparents to scan their babies themselves and note the number of the chip for their own records. I just don't understand why all Veterinarians don't scan all their patients, both new and old. Especially with all the stollen little ones these days. EVERY one of them needs a rabbies shot sooner or later. Just think of the possibilities of happy ends for long lost fur-loves! |
