Re: Microchip or not?
I was advised my dog's breeder to wait until he's 6 months old because he's a toy breed but I had him chipped when he was castrated.

Re: Microchip or not?
Hi i am new, and hope you do not mind me joining in your conversation?

If and when i get my new pet i will most certainly get her microchipped!

It would be horrible if they got lost and not found again!

I think it is well worth having done!

Yes that would be horrible too, a friend of mine had that happen to her blue siamese cat but she was lucky because she was microchipped and had her returned!

Re: Microchip or not?
If it's any help we had our little jack russell x chihuahua done (she only weighs 2.5kgs) and she didn't flinch. However, she absolutely screamed the place down when the vet cut her nails It is a big needle, but they honestly don't seem to mind it. I've had all my horses done too, and they didn't flinch either.
