| Microchip How many of you have microchip your fur baby? I did like two weeks ago. It's pretty easy and Mindy did so well. It felt like taking your kid to the doctor for the vaccination lol.... Well she is my fur kid.

| Princess is microchipped. They did it during her spay, so she didn't mind at all. It does give me peace of mind, though I still rely on her tags as well.

| She has her tag too, they gave me this tag that says that she is microchipped but I don't know.... Don't like so many thing hanging from her neck and I guess it wouldn't be that comfortable when laying down or sleeping but at the same time it would be helpful if someone find her to know that she is microchipped.

| Mojo was chipped during his neuter. The vet was so awesome that they actually sent the paperwork in for me! I guess they say that lots of people do get the chip, but neglect to send the registration papers in so the dog's chip is never registered to the owner.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | All my babies are microchiped, even the babies that go home to their forever families go with a chip and a clause in the contract that has me as a second contact, in case the owner surrenders the dog without telling me, I get a call and I will go and get my dog, it has work wonderfully so far. So I highly recomend chipping to anyone with a fur baby.. |

| Both my babies are microchipped and they have a tag that tells people they are in case they are ever lost *knock on wood* I use petlink and really like it. I can update their information any time without charge

| Bella got her microchip when she got her last set of vaccines. It was quick and easy, and seemed to cause her no pain what so ever. I have not yet gotten Jett his, but I KNOW that he will be more of a wimp but he is MUCH littler than she is.

| microchipping I am from Northern Virginia. All of our yorkies, Dixie, Daisy, Teddy and Max are microchipped. Max was a rescue yorkie and came to us microchipped. We only had to send in a change of owner name and address. Dixie, Daisy and Teddy were microchipped when they went in for spaying and neutering. At the same time all three had some baby teeth that were removed also. So it was all done at the same time and none of the yorkies had any trouble. We are so happy we had it done, they are always in our fenced in yard however besides having a county license tag that can help to identify them and a nametag on their collar, microchipping is a great assurance that even if they have lost their collar and all tags that they are carrying identification that cannot be removed. |
