But I really can't imagine sending off a baby with the chip like that. Sounds like they did it just under the skin, or maybe just the tip of it in the muscle and the rest sticking out. The correct technique is to do it at a slight angle so that it's not going straight down...this way you can get the whole thing in there without going so deep.
I find that there are a lot of breeders who do it themselves, which obviously I don't have a problem with. I do have a problem with just slapping it in and not checking it. |
oh yes yikes
is absolutely right.. I posted my horrific ordeal with the breeder/broker on a thread..
I did not say the part about my not knowing she was actually on the plane until 9 p.m and it was a 12 hour flight.. we had to leave home at 3 a.m so not much notice ah... I was shocked when I got the email saying go to bed.. she is enroute...
I would not let a puppy go at that age, let alone shipping puppy on a 12 hour flight..
