I've had both Lacy and one of my cats microchipped. I had Lacy's done at a microchip clinic at Petco that a rescue group was doing. It was $10 to have it done and $15 to register it. Her's is an AVID chip. My cat, Sophie, was microchipped at the vet. I believe hers cost $30 or $35 and then like $20 or so to register it. Sophie's is a Home Again chip. I actually registered Lacy's AVID chip with Home Again as well because Home Again will send out alerts to all the shelters, rescue groups, and vets in your area if your pet gets lost. The cost of implanting the chip will vary from vet to vet. I highly recommend microchips - collars and tags can come off and microchips are the best way to make sure your dog gets returned to you.
