you dont have to go to the vets to get your dogs microchipped, i myself am registered to microchip and i go to peoples houses cos its less stressful for the dogs, cos the only time we tend to take them is to have something they think is really horrible done to them, mine are quivering wrecks as soon as they get out of the car and i have a really nice vet. so in saying all that see if there are any mobile chippers around you
