Donating YT 4000 Club Member | All of mine are chipped. Cali is getting hers today while she's getting spayed. Not one of them has ever given me reason to believe the chip bothers them at all. They might be a little tender the first day, but they have all bounced right back. Collars can get lost or removed by an unscrupulous person. I want a permanent ID for my pups.

| Sophie had hers by about 8 weeks thru breeder. No issues at all. Her spayed went great last Friday. She is running around like crazy again. |

| All of mine are chipped and no problems at all. They don't even know it's there. Even my little 3 pounder.

| Both mine were chipped while getting neutered/spayed. I feel around the area where the chip is supposed to be just to make sure it's there. (I've read that the chip might migrate to a different area.) I've seen NO indication it bothers them at all even when I put little pressure on the area. |

| All of my babies are microchipped. I have never had any indication that they are in any discomfort after they get the chip. If there is any tenderness at all after they have the chip inserted, after 24 hours, I would watch it closely for possible signs of infection at the insertion site. Of course, that is not the fault of the chip....that is a failure of aseptic technique when the chip was inserted! |

| Gina has shown no signs of even knowing that he has it in her, even when rubbing her back where the chip is, it's worth the expense for the peace of mind, knowing that it's there. Cheers Quad & Gina

| Huey has never acted like he could feel his, even from day one when he was still bleeding from the injection site!

| I watched Noah's breeder do his and he never even whimpered. Allie and Noah have theirs from the breeder. Allies puppies will be getting them before they go to new homes. Westly will be getting one at the same time the puppies get theirs.
