| Microchipping I am def one to find a bargain and I found one recently that was so good that I had to share. I purchased microchips off of ebay for my cat and dog and micro chipped them myself. The microchips were $3.00 and $3.50 each and the shipping was $5.00 with the combined shipping discount. Mind you that microchips cost about $20 each plus the vet fees. I then went to avidmicrochip.com and bought the prepaid registration for only $7.50 each. They are normally $15. (I had to register on their website as a hobby breeder though.) I saved a ton of money! The only downfall is that I had to do the actual microchip insertion myself. I have experience with injections, so it was not hard. But it is a very simple procedure that anyone would be able to do. Otherwise, anyone that is familiar with routine injections could complete the procedure, or a vet. All my pets are now registered and I feel quite a bit better about keeping my pets safe! |

| Whoa, I never would have thought to do it myself. I would still go to the vet though for mine...that's me though. Have you tried it out....like, see if your vet will scan it to see if it is all okay?

| Wow, I thought I could do it myself too but when I saw how big that needle was I knew it would be done by our vet. Glad you have your babies chipped and registered.

| I haven't gotten them scanned yet, but I will just get it checked when I take them for the annual vet appt. Everything was sealed and sanitary so there is a very little chance of it not working. The same as every other chip. I checked to make sure there was a chip loaded in the needle before I did it and I can also feel the chip under their skin. Plus, the chip have a lifetime warranty so if it ended up not working the manufacturer would replace it. |
