well we are going in tomorrow to have it put in! There is a bit of a communication barrier between my vet and i as he has a strong accent, and bless his heart he is SUCH a kind man, therefore when i asked the brand i didnt' totally catch it but i wanted to make sure it was ISO (internationally recongnized... oh i would LOVE to travel internationally

) and it is. So i'm sure i'll know more about it tomorrow when i get the literature on it. And while he is an amazing vet with many years of experience i think next year we will be switching as i want a vet that feels Layla does not need to be vaccinated year, but that is a whole different thread
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who gave me advice and support and the horror stories that kicked my butt into gear. I read that you should indicate on a tag that she is Microchipped in the event that one shelter cna't read the chip, they will at least know she has one and can seek another reader. So i'll also be doing that should the chip not come with a tag. Thanks again everyone!
