If you’ve ever lost your pet, you know that terrible feeling at the pit of your stomach that you’ll never see them again. Pet parents find themselves running around plastering posters all over the neighborhood to no avail. Micro chipping your pet is the best way to make sure they make their way back home. A microchip is a permanent identification that can be placed in your pets. If your pet gets lost and is taken to an animal shelter or veterinarian, they will scan the microchip to read its unique dog or cat ID code. And the best part, it’s affordable!  It may sound “high-tech,” but dog and cat micro chipping is a simple procedure. A veterinarian simply injects the microchip (which is about the size of a grain of rice,) beneath the surface of your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. The process only takes a few seconds, and is similar to a routine shot. Bonus: no anesthetic is required! Call your Veterinarian today to discuss getting a micro chip for your furry friend.

With my dog, he tends to run off from time to time but manages to get back home. He isn't microchipped and as you said here, it would be a good idea to have in the event that he does get lost. I would have to find a vet that could offer this service to me. 7/11/2019 07:11:30 pm
With my dog, I would feel terrible if I lost them. As you said here, it would be a good idea to microchip them as if someone else found them, a vet could then scan it and contact me. I'll see about doing this sooner than later since my dog does tend to run away a lot. Fewer than 10% of lost pets with microchips are ever returned to their owners by that method. A 2012 ASPCA survey shows that 76% of lost pets are returned without using ID. Another 9% are found by ID, but that could be any form of such. Do not let fear of loss make you do something that could harm your pet. Adverse Events for microchips are reported at approximately 1 in 1,000 including chip failure, migration, abnormal mass and tumor formation, rejection, infection and death. Microchips are a scam, the industry essentially unregulated and products getting more and more risky, including chips made of plastic. Find out more at https://chipmenot.info 10/22/2019 09:23:35 am
My cousin doesn't want to see her daughter suffer if she loses her new puppy. It's interesting that a microchip can be injected into your pet's fur so it's easier to locate it. Thank you for the information. I'll recommend my cousin to take the puppy to a vet so they can inject a microchip in it. Implanting a microchip raises the chances of your pet being returned by only 10%. The pet microchips cause pets pain, illness and exploitation. The industry is essentially unregulated and products are harmful. Before you implant one in a pet, find out more at ChipMeNot.info 11/20/2019 02:51:19 pm
My son was crying for 2 consecutive nights because his playmate was missing. It's great that you elaborated about microchipping our pets to ensure that they will be familiarized and they will know their way back home. I think I need to pay a visit to the nearest veterinary hospital to our home and have my one-and-only dog injected so that we won't miss him again. 6/3/2020 08:20:24 am
I like what you said about microchipping your pet so that they can be ID'd at the vet. My sister has been telling me about how she wants to make sure that her dog can come home if it ever gets lost. I'll share this information with her so that she can look into her options for vets who can help her with microchipping. 8/24/2020 03:50:21 pm
It's good to know that it can help your dog find their way back home if they are lost. My sister was telling me last night about how she wants to look into getting a puppy for their family, and that she and her husband were wondering if they should look into getting it microchipped. I'll make sure to pass this information along to them so that they can know the benefits of microchipping their dog! 12/3/2020 10:19:52 am
I had no idea that chipping your dog is similar to them getting a routine shot. I thought it was a lot more complicated honestly. I'd love to get my new Corgi pup chipped. I would die if I lost him and this way I can track him down in case he is stolen too. 12/5/2021 03:41:04 pm
