Why would you want to remove it.

Microchips are so useful, even if you dont travel, your dog could get lost of something could happen, and a microchip could be what gets you your dog back.

And even if nothing happens, what is the benefit to the animal or yourself of having it removed. It is not causing any problems, you dont even notice it. why would you want to put your dog through an operation and stuff for no valid reason.

Seems pointless

Honestly this is such a troll!!!! And full of it!!

My cat is microchiped and her previous owner has just changed her details with mine and that is all that needs to be done!!!!

Talk about animal cruelty!!! mad:

dear god in heaven!! carrie, what are you thinking about doing???? are you derranged? slightly unbalanced? smoking something your not meant to? you had the chip put in whilst you were traveling between countries yes? and now that you are not you want it removed? why? do you think that pets get stolen only abroad and that it doesn't happen here? where are your senses? left abroad i think, with the animal snatchers that the UK don't have silly, silly woman. the chip is in there for a reason and should be left alone! it may have hurt at the time it was put in, but so do booster injections, yet you have those done i presume?

to come into a forums, ask a question like that and not expect people who love their animals not to react is a bit silly, don't you think? then to speak to them in that tone of voice (which i found rather insulting and rather childish) is terrible. you are not holier than us, you are not bigger than us and you certainly don't seem to be cleverer than us! in fact my cat has more intelligence than you.

to be perfectly honest i found you a rather rude individual and judging by what you want your dog to go through just because you want it, i think you are unfit to own an animal. an animal that has the right to be left in peace and not subjected to pain because of a whim. it may not hurt to have it taken out, but it will hurt when the anesthetic wears off! don't be so dumb!

you selfish individual!











sorry normal people, but these types of idiots really get my goat! would slap them with a wet slipper if i ever met them.

I would also be inclined to think that the OP is a troll.

My Mum's dog, Badger, had her chip removed because it had migrated down her leg. Although a new chip was implanted afterwards.

I see no other reason why a microchip should be removed. The OP sounds rather suspicious if not a troll.

Without getting slammed, she did only ask if it could be done as she wanted to!!

Maybe just maybe she is just got herself into one of those tunnel vision states and what ever anyone says or offers advice to she is not going to listen as she has decided that the chip is not going to be worth what it is used for???


A bit like buying a new pair of jeans instead of washing the old one, just because you don't know how to use the washing machine,, somepeople just can't see the wood for the trees.

Err did I ramble

Wow, why has a thread that died of death nearly 9 months ago been ressurected and causing another stir

Why should I "forgive" you for your atrocious manners in rudely telling me I have no good reason for what I wish to do, despite the fact that you were too lazy even to read the thread properly?

You ask "or have I got that wrong?" You might be able to answer that question yourself if you read the thread properly and then think about it. There was quite a lot of information in my last post which may be new to you, e.g. regarding Bayer and Hills.

Anyway, the only assistance I've received in this matter has been in private messages from several kind people whose outlook is similar to my own. (Many thanks to all who have helped!) Unfortunately, those willing to post publicly rather than privately seem to share your own contempt and lack of understanding. That's the way the cookie crumbles, I guess, so I won't be posting to this thread after today.

So I represent a "type" for you now, then? :-)

God, your linguistic skills are sophisticated! Your post amounts to "you're mad, ner ner nee ner ner!". Wow! I bet you do well in the office...

'Course, if you cared to respond substantively to the information regarding Bayer and Hills, you might even win some respect.
