Edie is chipped. I had it done while she was under anesthesia for her spay operation. I would not have her anesthetized only for installation of the chip, as anesthesia presents its own dangers.
While I think chipping is important, it does not take the place of a tag, which Edie also wears. When she was a puppy, I could not make her wear a tag because she kept chewing on it. Now that she is older, she has a tag with my cell phone number on it. This way, even if we are traveling, she can be returned to me. |
