What are the advantages to this service...surely if my dog was lost he'd only be linked to me if taken in to the vets or animal services? And i know a lot of people keep strays?

So many questions

I would personally get him done.

The advantages of having him chipped are if he's lost and taken to the vets/rescue... the first thing they should do is check for a microchip so they can get in touch with the owner.. and if they get in touch with you right away - means less stress for the dog being somewhere strange...

I've actually done microchipping on dogs before when I worked at a kennels... yes the needle may seem a little big - but it doesn't hurt them, and after a treat and a stroke - they're fine!

My last dog was microchipped... and my future dogs will be too.

P.S sorry if this has been said already, haven't had chance to read everyones post yet!
