Jackie- If you ever try to m/chip George I'll break your arm! LOL
He gets lost, he STAYS lost!
NO BACKS!  I trie taking his collar off and tying him the the dumpster at Giant Foods but he chewed the rope and found his way home.

I tried to get my husband to let me microchip him,  I even offered to 'chip myself, too, using the 'When You Get Alzheimers' Disease This Will Keep You Safe' line, but he vehemently declined, darn it---so I had to settle for the cell phone with Lo-jack plant.....sigh!

All my dogs & pups are chipped, Avid is awesome, & it's really very easy, just be sure not to shoot them straight through & out the other side.....(of the skin fold, not the puppy!)

And the size of the needles....holy cow....pity the poor junky THAT desperate!!

Jackie Harris LPN,CHPLN (23 years experience.....not RN...again, sigh...same work, less pay...!)

Oh, BTW, to avoid that registration lag, I fill the Avid paper out when I turn the puppy over to the new owner, usually when we fill out the registration transfer paper, & then I mail it myself, that way there's no delay! It's important to me that the dog is trackable during the first few weeks in his/her new home-when they might not be completely oriented to the new place--I figure that's when the highest chance of being lost is.....plus if something goes wrong, the pup is more easily traced...hopefully.

Geez---I'd be surprised if G even has Lo-jack.....you don't need it, just follow the trail of pop tops in the snow......& Carl has been known to get lost, he's doing better now....but I was ready to get Beckett out last year to track him down....he took a wrong turn & wound up in Cherryville, had to call me for directions back home.....had me worried to death! jh

G must've been read Hansel & Gretel as a child. He leaves a trail of Old Milwaukee cans so he can always find his way home.

Is the issue of the chip wandering to other parts of the body a real one?


by eichenluft on 03 February 2009 - 19:02

yes, it can migrate - usually down one shoulder or the other, or even around to the front of the chest.  Checking for microchips involves "searching for it" in case there is no reading at the top of the shoulder where it is supposed to be - if it's not there, then just search around for it - when it's found it's still readable :)

Most don't migrate but I have seen dogs that have.

YR, I was thinking kind of the same thing, I thought she meant incase you thought you were losing your mind like Alhzheimer's!

Kitkat....

I got Zach chipped, but it was done by the vet...
I was debating b/w chipping and the tatoo.
I went with the chip through HomeAgain

How  does one cook a frog with Boiling water?  Warm the water first,  or just a hot boil?
