No

​@@josephcarreon783 why

No way. The microchip is not a tracker.

Doing the same thing for our dog as she is being spayed, plus having her nails trimmed and her three year vaccination.

Wouldn't do a vaccine on the day of surgery.

@@DrLera They did the chip cut his claws fixed him and I forgot what else. He was a street dog before we got him so he didn’t let us touch his paw.

It’s called the puppy crying in the background that’s why I were watching

Yes my staff makes fun of me for that

I count 13! Thanks for the vid doc🎉!

It’s a huge needle so understandable

@@SethMacLeod95 it’s a quick procedure but also depends where you go, my cat revived a topical anesthetic

Is it worth it for your pet

Absolutely!

Yes that's an option. If you are ok with shaving the spot to apply the cream.

Glad it was helpful!

So this is a question that I have are people able to buy microchips themselves or do you work at some sort of animal welfare/hospital organization?

Yes, Amazon sells microchips for pets.

eBay sells them cheap too along with cheap readers. Both work great.

Iv asked around my state and iv been give prices from $20-$150 to get them chipped. Crazy

Take a training class! Do not attempt this yourself at home without guidance.

They will tent up the skin to make sure it's actually going into the skin and not tissue they don't want it going into. They also do this for vaccines because most of them are supposed to be given in the skin but not into the muscle.

Haven't had that issue yet. Not to say it can't happen.

this comment is a year old so idk if you'll see this but a lot of people recommend putting them on carriers if you have a carrier for your pet!

Yoo me too. Match 13th I’m getting mine chipped.

Why ? For years dogs never got chipped keep your dog safe and sound like the old days. SMH

​@@Aggie63That's what I am talking about, keep dogs safe and let them live normally.

Just look up "pet chip registry companies". Many are free, but might push extra services for additional cost. Just sign up making a user name and password and put the chip info and your dogs info in it along with a current photo. I recommend registering your pet's chip with several registries just to be safe. Some companies might eventually go out of business and not transfer their database to another company.

They are not always reliable. I have had some of those fall out of the dog, migrate, and some simply don’t get picked up by a chip scanner. You want to purchase chips which have an anti migration feature, are LARGE as you can put in that particular pet, and don’t reuse old chip numbers

All chips can migrate. That's why you must fully scan the pet. Always scan the chip prior to implant and again afterwards.

We do not typically use alcohol when placing the microchip. It is something that to my knowledge is usually done by the veterinarians. I'm not sure if it is accessible for breeders or even pet owners to do. But usually we will place it in the subcutaneous layer betweenthe shoulder blades

Yes, they sell chips to breeders, and fairly cheap, pinching does help, I've actually done a few shots myself because that way it's done and you don't owe the vet visit on top of like 10 shots, but not everybody can handle giving their pets these shots with how big some needles are, they are afraid of hurting them or theirselves, I have a pup with seizures and have to medicate and yes it's scary but after a few times you learn what each pet likes better and no they are not all the same so dnt expect to charge at 1 and then do the same with the next because some are runners, some pass out over the sight if they see the needles

Normally a yearly fee isn't required to register your information. This is all that you need to do for your information to be on file for whoever recovers your pet. You can often pay a yearly fee for access to extra services, but in my opinion this is a waste of money. Of course, the service providers will try to mislead you to make extra sales. Also, they'll often incentivize their call center employees to convince you to register, which may result in sketchy or dishonest behavior by the representative. Many of the players in this industry are rather scummy, since the profit margins on the hardware itself have been thinned out by competition.

It's all about money forgetting that those creatures want to live normally and healthy. 😢

lol

They are tiny, about the size of a large grain of rice.

Yes the chip is in for the life of the patient

hi can cattle be chipped if possible how

@@joeldavids2002 Yes it is basically the same procedure the only thing that changes is the placement of the microchip.

Wow, thank you!

Thank you Daniel!

Heron Lakes Animal Hospital You’re welcome Doc 😅

There are potential side effects, but they're incredibly rare. Most vets consider the benefits of microchipping to far outweigh the downsides.

Getting the chip out would require a small surgery to get it out. I don't think it should be complicated. Although that is the first time I have received that question

why would you want to remove it? it has your contact details incase your dogs run off?

Most modern chips can be read by overseas readers. There is a worldwide standard now. A vet in another country can verify your pet is chipped.

Not yet

@@DrLera I can’t wait lol. Thanks!

It would be so nice to have a gps microchip that had both the information and know where they are at, at the same time if anything were to happen.

@@DrLera Bummer. I was going to microchip my dog thinking it would provide GPS if she was lost or stolen ☹

don’t they have them for expensive purses? I would think surely they have developed one for dogs by now

the chip is around the same size as a grain of rice (hence the size of the needle), but no, the chip is in fact solid and will sit underneath the skin without moving around. The idea of it is somewhat similar to an eftpos card, where the scanner picks up the signal the chip sends out, and provides an identification number, which is linked to both the animals and owners details. Hope this helps :)

Oh wow I didn’t know all that. Learning new things daily! Thank you so much for explaining this!

Yes. We do not see cattle here but I'm sure it can be done.

here in uganda we have cattle and i think microchipping would help stop cattle theft.

Any animal can be chipped. Many animals have the chip behind the ear.

We understand, but it's a really quick process that we perform for a greater good.

If your dog happens to get out for your cat. And they get lost then this is a implanted device that cannot be taken off like a collar. If the Humane Society or animal control fix up your cat or dog they will scan them to see if they have a microchip which is registered to their owner.

I did it for my cat, she is an indoor cat but is very curious of the outside. I was always scared that if someone opens the door, she could run out! Its like a safety. We are also getting a female pittie in a couple of days and she will also be chipped! Pitbulls has a bad rep so if she ever gets to a shelter or rescue, she wont be killed.

Yes you can definitely go too deep. It should be in the subcutaneous layer. That's the space between the skin of a muscle.

no its never the ear

Inner ear lobe is for tattoo to show chipped/desexed

dogs cant feel anything, it goes in between their shoulderblades so they barely feel anything. wdym poor doggo?

@@Nibbliess100 dogs can feel things you kidding? its alive just like yourself bozo

@@universalg_ when its in their neck scruff they barely feel anything, bozo

So if you needed a hip replacement in order to walk, you'd refuse? You would rather your pet be lost and potentially be killed by an overcrowded shelter if it's owner wasn't found? That would be cruel.

I am with you 💯 I will never do this to my pets, I want them live healthy and normal all their lives, I could put a GPS trackers under his neck and install the GPS app in my phone. 😊 Please loud your voice as I am to not use those souls for trades like microchips or other tools that will influence their health badly in their life living.

​@@megreads9you are a dunce

You can always find your way home. Your pet may not.

Totally 💯 with you and agreed, my dog knows very well the location of my house, I trained him in a way trying to unleash him before steps to house to see if he will know, he directly goes to the right one.
