| Ginger is first pup I ever chipped, Vet discussed firmly with me for several minutes, lol. As I have never lost, had escape or stolen, felt no need, had previous Yorkie tattooed. Was concerned about feeling chip when petting, he said he would do his best to not let that happen. It took a week for scab to heal, but sure enough I can't find it. |

| thanks for the info and I am glad it has helped others as well. before making an appointment at my vet I am going to check with the county shelter and humane society several people told me that many cities provide this at much lower costs than a vet does. for those with several dogs the savings can be significant

this is correct. Humane societies encourage to spay, nurturer & micro-chip, they offer lower prices to make it more affordable for ppl that cannot pay what vets charge or have multiple pets.

| I can't imagine it NOT hurting. The needle is huge. The chip is the size of a grain of long grain rice, so you can imagine how large that needle needs to be to put it in. I have chips in their needles sent to me from YTNR when I have a foster that needs a chip so I've seen them up close. Katie had a big dried up clump of blood at the site. But it's better to do it than not. Also, don't get a chip and then forget to register it!

| The needle gauge seems really thick, but neither of my pups made a peep when they had their chips put in. The vet did it in the room with us.

Yorkie Yakker | I'm so glad I read this, I am considering having little Bella chipped, but also wasn't sure about the way they do it and if it would hurt her. I think, even if it does hurt for a second or two, it's worth while. |
