True Story...
At the pound a dog came in (stray got out the yard) and actually had two microchips! 1 registered to a breeder and 1 to a private party...
Apparently the dog had been chipped, and the dog was re-chipped with a second chip by the new owner at the vets...the remedy because removing is almost all but unheard of was to have both chips updated to the correct owner...
So this tiny tiny I mean tiny dog like 2 lbs had two chips..not a single issue...the chips were even next to each other...
I'm still considering tattooing on top of chips also... |
You mean they can't remove this thing if it hurts the little dogl? What if somehow there were nerve entrapment or something - or it just hurt the dog when touched? If they can remove shunts, tumors, etc., why can't a possible painful chip be removed? But I'm like earlier posters, I have never heard of a dog having one and sure hope it really doesn't happen.
