Hi Kate.
I live in Germany so I do not know if this will help at all.
My dog is 5months old and we got her microchipped 5days ago because I am planning to take her to Greece for a couple of weeks and in the requirements was to get her microchipped. I would do it anyway though for her safety. The vet told me she didnt need to be anesthetized but warned me that the needle is pretty big. And IT WAS. She did not move or cry at all. We were all suprised. He inserted the chip in her neck.
Vets ARE supposed to scan all the pets that come in to be sure that the pet belongs to the owner that brings the animal in. Keeping that in mind this protects both the owner and the pet.
