| hi! i just wanted to add our experiences w/ microchipping. our vet in minnesota uses avid. both our kitties were chipped before our move to san diego. our vet here uses home again. when we brought playdoh (our kitty) in for her annual exam, we told her new doctor she was chipped w/ avid. we didn't have her number w/ us to give him. he said it didn't matter which company her chip came from, the wands work w/ all. he then scanned her & wrote her number on her chart~ remember he uses home again. as for your concern w/ the pain, it's the same as getting a shot. our kitties are ok w/ shots, cali (our yorkie) cries a little. both our kitties were done super quick! they were a little sore in the area of injection, but otherwise acted the same. another thing to consider, we had cali microchipped when she was spayed. so she definitely didn't feel it. i don't know what your plans are for your baby, just another option for ya. i hope this helps! good luck w/ your decision! |

| Actually, at my Vet office, we use Avid because it can be read by a universal scanner which a lot of Vets actually use, therefore, I do not believe that should be much cause for concern.

| My vet uses home again. They say that the chip is about the size of a grain of rice and that the needle is a stinker!! Therefore, when Ollie (my maltese) was neutered, I had them microchip him while he was sedated. I will also do the same with Krissie Bella. I just can't stand to think of them crying like the poor "Chinese Crested" dog was on the utube video. Ollie hasn't had any problems with his. Which, if they ever leave my feet, they will have to be pryed away from my dead body and stolen. They are such mommies babies.....

| Microchip Out of my 5 dogs, 2 have homeagain microchips and 3 have avid. My vets office has a scanner that reads both. I don't really know that either chip is better than the other, but I rest a little easier knowing if they got out I might get them back by just chipping them. Heck, I would put a GPS on them if it was available, if it meant I would get my babies back if they got lost! |
