I microchip all my 12 week old puppies prior to them going to new homes myself....I have only had one or two even whimper when it was done, and I really do not think it was the "pain" from the insertion of the chip but more of a dislike being restrained during the insertion!! If someone does it that KNOWS what they are doing, and inserts the chip with the slanted angle of the needle placed alongside the surface of the skin, there is no problem! Even if done incorrectly, with the bevel down, it only is uncomfortable for a second......and it is such a valuable, valuable tool in getting lost/stolen dogs back to rightful owners! |
