I'm not against it, just more on the fence than anything. Why haven't I had Gizmo chipped then?

-my vet doesn't do it, and I just don't like the idea of taking him to a new vet or a local shelter to have it done

-I've heard some scary stories that are probably NOT true, but they scare me. I need to take the time to do the research and just haven't done it yet. (I am not going to share them because I don't want to scare someone else unnecessarily.)

-I don't know how much testing has been done regarding long-term side effects.

So...IDK
