Has anyone here micro-chipped their pet?What was your experience with it? Did your cat/dog do O.K. with the procedure? Do you feel like this will help get your pet back to you in case they get lost?

My dog is micro-chipped. She didn't mind at all and she's a small dog. I think it's pretty important to do it these days when pets don't have to be registered. Also since people now steal pedigree dogs to sell to others, i've heard quite a few of these stories.

I don't have a pet myself, but my friend has done this and he feels way more secure with it. Its definately a good idea as it doesn't even hurt the dog.

As long as it won't hurt the animal, I think it's a good idea. It's nice to know that if your pet slips out of it's collar, animal control has a way of locating its owners and retuning the pet to the people who love it.

dogs, microchip in your pets for protection - my dog who may end up getting the micro chip for 
keeping track of her.
We thought about getting our dog microchipped. I think that it is a great idea when you have an animal. My only concern is putting her through the proceedure to have it done. I dont want to see her in pain. I do think that with it there is always a better chance in getting her returned.

I just had my puppy neutered and when I took him in for the procedure, they ask me if I wanted to have him microchiped while he was asleep. I ask how much it cost and she said $40. I opted to not do it. I keep him in the house all the time. When he goes out, I am with him and have him on a lease. I just could not see paying that much to have it done. A tag for his collar is much cheaper.

The vet told me that the chip just goes under the skin.
