| Microchipping Has anyone here gotten it done? How much did it cost? Is it just like one big national registry that your pet's info is in, and wherever your pet is it can be traced? I'm considering getting it done when I get my Yorkie because of the recent thefts of Yorkies in L.A., and to have peace of mind. Thanks for any help! |

| Yes, it is a national registry. If a pet is suspected of being lost or stolen, a vet or another animal authority scans the back of the pet's neck for a chip, which will give info. Try visiting this site: www.homeagainid.com I had Gracie chipped when she was spayed. My vet charged $35 to implant the chip. She gave me all of the info then I went online and registered all of the info. That was a one time fee of $17.00. I have the Home Again chip.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I had all 3 of mine microchipped while awake. The vet said they all did fine. I just had Pixie done last week and she is 3 lbs and the vet said she was the bravest one she had ever done. It cost 40.00.

| I had my Johnny microchipped. They did it when he was awake and he didn't even make a sound! The vet was extremely suprised because the needle is so big. He showed me the needle and I about passed out But Johnny didn't seem to mind at all. He's a tuff 2.11 pound guy! Oh yeah, btw it cost $40 where I'm at. |
