I have all of my dogs microchoipped and even my pups. I have discussed this in length with my vet since I did not want to give my dogs anything that could harm them in the future. He assured me that it was very safe and no need to worry. They (microchip agencies) are considering using one type so there would be no problem with reading the chips - no matter what brand you used. I think this is a great idea. I have a feeling too that AKC will go with this in the future as well part of the registration requirement. This is what an AKC representative commended on at one of my all-breed club meeting. AKC is discussing it now. It may take around 5 years to get it into place if they decide to do this.
