YOU can have a positive contribution to the process by telling the vet to "be sure the bevel is up when you insert the needle"!!!

I totally agree! I was worried about Teek and it turned out that it was nothing at all and not even a big deal. I was not nearly as worked up about it, but realized as soon as it was over that I was worrying about nothing at all. It was absolutely no different than when he got his rabies shot. Just take him in as if it is no big deal and it will be over with in a few seconds and he will be totally fine. I think me getting my ears pierced was a much bigger deal than Teek being chipped and my ear piercings were nothing. Please, relax and just have it done and don't worry about it.
