Microchip Thoughts ! I have been thinking about getting Daisy Microchipped just because We don't live in the best neighborhood lately.What do You all think ? But if She was to get stolen it does not trace Her right ? My vet said it is only 35 dollers and that She can do it without putting Her to sleep but that it is a big needle ! Is 35 a good deal and what about the BIG NEEDLE ! Also is there a charge to activate the chip or whatever ? OHHH,I am so confused :confused: any suggestions would greatly appreciated. Thanks You all,Tami |
We just got both of our dogs microchipped when we got them spay/neutered. It was $35.00 for the chip and I think $15 to acctivate it. I think its worth it to have it done. |
Just a thought: So if you're microchipping, someone would have to RETURN the dog to a vet for the vet to scan the chip to find the owner right? What if the person steals the dog?? To me I'd rather avoid giving her the discomfort and pain, and just have a very small dog tag that has the same information, for when she is out. My dog NEVER leaves the house without a leash and me. I just think Microchipping is an extra discomfort and hassle. It's probably easier when they are spayed because they don't have to feel it. JMO |
I want to get my girls microchipped as soon as I can...you never know what will happen...and even if they do get stolen, and they take them to the vet for any reason they will be found that way!! I am just saving up my money so I can do it...yes it is a big needle, but a few minutes in pain is worth it, just means extra loving and presents afterwards!!! |
My girls have been microchipped and they didn't even notice what the vet was doing . As for discomfort , they were playing as soon as they arrived home , just like nothing have happened to them . |
I had my babies all micro-chipped so that if they were to ever get separated from us and their ID tags, there would be another form of identification on them. We camp and travel a lot and they go everywhere with us- I know how quickly accidents can happen or unplanned events... this is just another way to put us at ease. ;) By the way, even though it is a larger needle- my babies didn't make a peep when they got chipped. I was so worried before it was done, turns out it was no big deal at all! |
Both of my girls are chipped. It only takes a second and it is over. I paid $20. with Olivia and $30. with Aimee just a month ago at my vet. It didn't cost anything to register on the web-site. I like knowing if they are lost and end up at a vet or animal shelter, there is a sure way for them to get back to me. No one can take their chip off like they can a collar. It is no guarantee you will get your dog back, but one more way to identify them. |
I plan on getting Schatzie microchipped soon. Her personal vet is not equipped so I need to take her to the vet who did surgery on her this year. The needle is not bad at all, quite small and from all i've read and heard there isn't too much discomfort on the dogs nor do the dogs seemed bothered when receiving the chip. I have a habit of being with Schatzie constantly when outside or whatnot but I also realize that things can happen by mistake and she might get lost or ??. With all the horrible things that can happen I feel a microchip is a good protective measure so I want to do all I can to keep her safe. |
I have had mine chipped, I did not want to take any chances. |
My dogs were microchipped and didnt have any discomfort at the site they were chipped. |
I had Esme microchipped. It was $40. To me that is just too cheap to pass up. I mean, it's just one extra precaution... you never know... My husbands cousin lost her yorkie, and it was returned to her two months later because it was scanned at a vets office. It worked for her... Yes, it was a slightly larger needle, but it was quick. She yelped for a second (like she does with all her shots) and then it was over. I think it's worth it. |
Gracie is microchipped, but my vet did it when she was getting spayed! |
I was thinking of getting my 2 babies chipped too. I wish they had like a lo-jack for dogs where they can be immediately tracked and located if they ever get lost. |
I think microchiping is great if you live in a town where the vet offices have the scanner to read the chip. My vet doesn't even have a scanner. None of mine have the chip, I think it is a personal thing. |
All my Yorkies have microchips . The puppies have them too before leaving my home . |
