Re: Microchip or not?

Yep my bunch are chipped,one bled loads,shes white,but didnt whimper.
The one who bled loads has moved to her elbow but causes her no problems.She was chipped about 6 years ago.

I chipped all my pups before they left,i did a course begining of this year so i could do my pups before they go putting their KC Reg number,full name and my number as second contact,so if any are lost or find their way to rescue i can be contacted.

Both my horses are chipped too but i have notices up saying they are DNA profiled and can be identified by that.I dont put that they are chipped as it worries me that they will find it,and cut it out

I personaly think all dogs should be chipped by law,and it should be compulsary that all dogs must be chipped before leaving breeders home,and the breeders details are there.

Re: Microchip or not?

Both mine are chipped. Got done at 10 weeks old same time as their second jabs. They both yelped but then got back to the treats the vet had for them. Both had a tiny little spot of blood on their fur (probably noticeable because they have white fur), but no side effects whatsoever.

If ever they get lost at least I know any vet or kennel will check for a microchip first so they will be home before you know it. After all a tag on a collar can get lost...... and as we have already lost 2 of those I feel much better knowing he has a chip.

Re: Microchip or not?

As tinytashi said in an earlier post we now have MOST of our chipped and a couple DNA profiled as well, we are slowly working our way around our lot and only have a few left to do now could have done with you Dennyboy to do our lot in one foul swoop

Totally agree with that.

All my dogs and cats are done. Milo and the cats were done at the RSPCA before we got them, the pups we had done at the same time as their second vaccinations. Neither wimpered but Trinny did bleed a fair bit.

Re: Microchip or not?

My dog isnt microchipped as I dnt think I need to microchip her, she wil neva run away always stays within site on walks, I suppose she could be stolen, but I dout that very much as she is always by my side shes like a little shadow, im even guily of lettin her sleep in my room although I know she shouldn't.
Just wondered if other pet owners think this is a really bad thing to not have them microchipped?

Re: Microchip or not?

All dogs and cats microchipped....no ill effects at all.
What happenes if they do get out and are involved in an accident or run away etc - I think its a must to microchip!
