I am considering getting my pet microchipped and am wondering how many of you have yours microchipped?

KaCee isn't microchipped yet, but she will be when I take her in to have her spayed.

Yes. In case he gets lost and his collar fell off, he still have a chance of coming home if someone scans him.

All three are microchipped with Home Again, and DNA tested.

I want to get my chipped, but I have 3 now and it starts to add up.

Hot Rod was microchipped when we got him.

Gracie2006 · 05-15-2008, 06:50 PM

Both girls got chips while under anesthesia for their spay. Gives me great peace of mind.

BubblPopElectrc · 05-15-2008, 06:53 PM

Yup!

I voted no....but bandit will be when he gets all of his shots and is old enough. My cat is microchipped.

All of mine except Kissy were chipped when they got spayed. I would never do it to them when they were awake. It is extremely painful to insert that grain of rice. I saw a big dog get it done and it really hurt them. I can't imagine doing it to one of our little ones when they were awake.

I highly recommend it but not when they are awake. If i ever have Kissy put out for anything, i'll have her done. They didn't have it availalbe 7 years ago when i got her.

I researched the safety of microchipping and after feeling very reassured as to Pokey's health and safety of getting it, there was no question about it. I had it done as soon as I could. Pokey is my child. I would be lost without her. With all the lost dog and theft stories out there, I want proof she is my baby. We fingerprint and have DNA for our skin children, but with our fur babies, I feel the only way the ensure the whereabouts and safe return of my fur baby is the microchip. I recently moved and my fear of Pokey wandering away in unfamiliar territory is reduced due to the fact that she has that blessed microchip!
