I had Esme microchipped. It was $40. To me that is just too cheap to pass up. I mean, it's just one extra precaution... you never know...
My husbands cousin lost her yorkie, and it was returned to her two months later because it was scanned at a vets office. It worked for her...
Yes, it was a slightly larger needle, but it was quick. She yelped for a second (like she does with all her shots) and then it was over.
I think it's worth it.
