Microchipping Does anyone have their Yorkie Microchipped? They are having a Clinic here near where I live and they are doing them for 15.99. I have heard a little about this, but not sure if it is a good idea. I would love to hear some feed back on this!! |
Yup Lucy is done and its a real piece of mind. We always keep a close eye on her but if she got lost or stolen and sold on, a quick scan would say she belonged to us. I would definately go for it |
Pebbles is also microchipped! I feel confident in case of lost that maybe there is some hope of getting her back. I think it is a good idea. |
Zsa Zsa have a microchip . One day , she escaped from the backyard . 3 days later we have received a phone call from a vet clinic , telling us , they have found her . The vet have had my name etc from the microchip informations center . |
I have everyone of mine microchipped. And the cat too. I don't put the tag on their color though. I have their I.D. tags on them because if someone is honest then are going to use the information on the I.D. The microchip is in case their colors get take off (would have the chip tag then anyways) in hopes that someone honest takes them somewhere to be scanned or eventually they will get lose again and eventually returned to me. That is a good price for them also. Just remember, you have to send in the national registration for to get them in the national database. I think it is $25 or $30 and $45 if you have up to 8 that are registered. Always update your information also. |
My Tini is also microchipped. My vet recommended that we do it at the same time she was spayed. This is because the needle is a little bit big. It only takes a second, but the chip is about the size of a grain of rice and has to be able to pass through the needle. Once it was in she is fine! I am glad to have the piece of mind. 15.99 sounds like a really good deal. I had to pay 35, so if the 15.99 includes the registration you definately should look into going that route. Probably it will hurt you more to see it done than it will hurt your furbaby! |
All my dogs have been microchipped since they started the practise - they have recently improved the design of the chip so now they shouldn't move. |
I really want to get my 2 dogs done but it is $70 each... so for 15.99 I'd jump! |
Have you checked the local shelters. My vet charges $45 so I get them done at the shelter for $22 each. |
Both of my dogs are microchipped.. It's a cheap way to add another layer of precaution should they ever get lost. All the vet clinics and shelters around here have the chip scanner so I know that at least if they get lost here it is possible they will scan for their chip. I've also considered getting them tattooed too just in case. |
I think that microchipping is a great idea. Thing is, how many vets or clinic actually have the scanning machines? I'd be afraid that after spending $50 to have your dog microchipped and it gets stolen or lost and someone takes it to the vet, they won't think to get it scanned. :confused: |
What about if you move...is there a way to update your information? |
Yes , you have to call the information center and give them your new address |

I didn't make it to the clinic this weekend, but I called the lady and she said that she would come to my house and do it. Does that sound good to anyone? I mean to me that doesn't sound safe. :confused: |
