I haven't had Mojo done and Liy isn't either. AND I am still uncertain....

My vet showed me the needle, which is bigger because it has the fit the chip (grain of rice sized) and the same size needle is used for all dogs. She did say that most people had it done when they had their dogs teeth cleaned or when they were spayed/neutered.

I have heard of the chip moving from its original spot, but I don't know if that causes any problems or not.

I also heard that some shelters/vets, have scanners that will pick up a chip, but not the number....so I don't know what happens if their scanners don't pick up the number??!! Atleast they know they are chipped...I guess? Or maybe they can get with someone else in the town and use their scanner? My vet is the one that told me that...something about different scanners working with different chips, etc. (I don't know)

A friend told me a story about her breeder friend who had a lady looking at her Yorkies one day. Well, her two breeding Yorkies came up missing. The lady who stole them took one to the vet one day...it was the same vet that my friends breeder friend went to. Well, the recogonized the dog and when the lady left, they called the owner and the police. When the lady came back to pick up the dog, she got arrested. I would hope and pray that my vet and her techs now Mojo (and so Lily) well enough to do this too! Wouldn't that be great?!

Anyway, I am still debating....we just hve mixed feelings about everything (injecting something into them, etc)....when it comes time for their teeth cleaning, we will see....it will be like me getting Mojo neutered...it took me awhile, but I got it done! I'm such a worry-wart!
