They have been extra quiet since they were chipped, almost like they were drugged. They have both slept all day. Does anyone know if this is normal? My regular vet doesnt chip, I took them to another clinic in the area. |
hmmmm: The Website does say:
Is the procedure to implant the microchip expensive?
While the price can vary from one veterinarian to another, implanting the microchip costs around $45. This is a one-time fee; the microchip does not need maintenance or replacement. In addition, there is an annual fee of $17.99 for your pet's HomeAgain membership.
