I love the dog collars that you can have your phone number and pets name embroidered, no jiggling sounds of tags

My cat could not tolerate his chip. He constantly clawed at it between his shoulderblades and no hair would grow there. After a year of this nonsense I asked my vet to remove it. She did and his hair has grown back and he is at peace. It resolved the problems immediately.

Thank you for your honesty! I lost my precious dog because of the chip. A huge tumor infused into her spine and there's nothing they could do. Unfortunately when I share this online most people do not believe me. Sad! My cat in fact... You couldn't find his. So, there you go. One death and one you couldn't find... It literally disappeared. I'm heartbroken!!! Never again will I chip an animal! You know what? Most people in the neighborhood and on FB pet groups all BAN TOGETHER to help find your pet. It's pretty common and alot of animals are found!

Not sure if people understand that the microchip goes into the layer just underneath the skin…. It doesn’t actually goes into muscles or the dog’s internal organs….

SEVERAL INACCURACIES IN THIS VIDEO: - "Every microchip contains a transponder that can help find your dog if he gets lost." No, the microchip will help identify the dog and his owner but it will not help find the dog. You need a GPS tracker for that. - "Microchips are also harder to lose than your dog's regular tags." No, microchips cannot get lost, they may move in the body but they simply cannot get lost outside of the body. - "The microchip will only help if your dog is found and turned into a local vet or shelter." No, microchips come with a tag showing the microchip number and the microchip company where it is registered. If the dog wears the tag, anyone who finds him can call the microchip company and initiate the reuniting of dog and owner. Otherwise, the dog needs to be scanned and yes, this can be done by a vet, a shelter, but also anyone who has a scanner, like an animal welfare organization (ex. a humane society.) or a regular person (I have one!) - "Implanting the chip is a quick procedure, but like any injection, it's still painful for your pup. Some vets use a local anesthetic, but other places implanting microchips don't do that." I have witnessed many dogs getting microchipped and I have NEVER seen any sign of pain. I know that dogs are good at hiding pain... but in case it does hurt, it is very short and the little pain, if they feel any, certainly does not outweigh the benefits of microchips. ABOUT TAGS and COLLARS Regular tags can fall off collars, this is why a slide-on tag (google it if you don't know what it is) is better than a regular one since it is attached directly to the collar. Additionally, a phone # ON the collar is a must. You can either buy a collar with the embroidered phone #, or use a marker or fabric paint and write it yourself. But be aware that the embroidery will fade overtime and so will the writings. So they need to be refreshed regularly. One of my dogs ran away once, scared of thunder, and I had failed to refresh the phone # on his collar (shame on me) but his collar had a slide-on tag. He was found 5 days later, 7 miles away!!!! ABOUT MICROCHIPS Microchipping pets is a MUST to me. The problem is not so much the RARE risks associated with a microchip (much ado about nothing! Dogs Naturally Magazine loves to scare people = fearmongering generates "likes" and sales) For a different point of view: wsava.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Microchip-Safety-and-Efficacy.pdf The problem is with some of the microchip companies whose services are unreliable. I created a webpage with a comparison of microchip companies: AN EYE OPENER. My favorite is PetLink. Watch out: 24PetWatch's services were abysmal. tinyurl.com/cmx63pht ABOUT GPS TRACKERS I have two different GPS trackers and I love them but some are much better than others. I created a webpage with a comparison of several GPS trackers. Visit my page if you are considering getting one. My favorite, by far, and also the cheapest , is Tractive. tinyurl.com/35cdwzrr

I think it is absolutely NOT necessary. I also believe it is a "it's for the greater good" experiment on our animals. I believe my puppy was injured not only from the jabs he received before I got him, but from inserting a micro chip in him as a tiny puppy...He developed seizures for "no reason at all"... my gut tells me the microchip. Any studies on animals, seizures and microchips? I know there are for the jabs. (which are also all experimental)

You can purchase "tags" that attach and lay flat on the dog collar. That way the tag won't be dangling down and get caught on objects, or fences. BOOMERANG PET TAGS is the company where I have purchased these "slide on" pet tags. They are inexpensive and have used them on all my dogs for many years.

I hate micro chips. No they are not safe and some animals have been reported to have tumors growing at the site. Micro chips weren’t around decades ago what people did is remained responsible and did not let their pet runoff. Now, if you rescue a pet, they have to be shipped. Unbelievable

When I got my Pom he was my first dog and I was only 18. I did everything by the book for the first few years before I wised up and went more natural with my approach to raising him. I did have him chipped when he was a puppy, which I now hugely regret because he never goes more than 10 feet from me, ever, and I now know the health risks. He is 9 years old now, and has no obvious issues from it, and a chest xray showed it is exactly where it was placed and has not migrated or developed any strange tissue around it. Is it a safe assumption that if cancer was going to form around it, it would've within 9 years? Or should I still worry?

Mine have been tattooed, but depending on the artist with some of them the ink migrates or runs making them unreadable. My 16 year old’s skin has changed color over the years and you can’t even see her ear tattoo any longer. I like that it always comes back to the low tech solution. Collar and tag!!

Living in a high traffic neighborhood with 3 small dogs, we have to be mindful of them slipping out of their harness while on walks so our solution is the most secure well fitting harness available. The other threat would be someone dashing out the door, so we have iron gates that we are militant about keeping latched at all times. These are all dogs that were rescued from city streets, so we know they’re lucky to be alive. The two who have microchips received them at the dedicated spay neuter clinic, while under anesthesia. Because the clinic performs these same procedures every day, I trust them to get it right. Here again, if my dogs got loose they would probably be hit by cars before the microchip became an issue. No substitute for care and vigilance!

Being super holistic, I too am not in support of microchipping. Sadly, I just had to chip my 12 year old beagle girl, because we are moving to Spain and they enforce it. She eats a very healthy diet so hopefully all will be okay. 🙏🏽❤️

I just want to add you can purchase collars with your phone number and a message sewn onto the collar I’ve found that this much safer Thanks for your information re microchip

It’s also very painful despite what techs and vets say. The gauge of the needle used to insert the chip is twice the size of a regular subcutaneous needle used for vaccinations.

If i need to travel outside of my country with my pet and one of the regulations to enter other countries are microchiped pets, what can i do to avoid implancting my dog? Is there something legal i can do about?

Can they be removed ?? (In cats)

Hawaii doesn't allow you to move your dog there unless it is microchipped. France as well.

After watching this video I decided to get the microchip removed out of my dog where and how do I go about doing that or can I do it myself since it was done today

In my experience I have never witnessed any pets have a negative reaction to a microchip. I have found dogs which were successfully reunited with their owner's thanks to the microchip. There are too many dogs being stolen and collars can be removed easily. It's not so easy to remove microchips, but I won't say more about that here.

My dog had a collar on. The tag got caught in a fence and she was strangled. Not a fan of collars.

1:02 So the US does not have mandatory microchipping in all states?

if you don't microchip and your dog get away do you might not ever see it again microchip✅✅

I microchipped my cat before knowing the truth about it.. since then when i looked at him i felt such regret and sadness, like i ruined a living being that has been entrusted to me. Never again will i microchip any animal, it's so unnatural and wicked. May God help us all

I’d never do this!!! Never.

By placing an electric foreign object in your pet you’ve done untold damage to your pet. The immune system will continually try to remove it stressing the immune system. When it can’t get rid of it the immune system will in circle it to try & keep it from harming the body.

My dog is chipped but not by my choice. Too much like MARK OF THE BEAST.

ok so my breeder already chipped my new puppy. What do I do?

Micro chipping is traumatic!! ..responsible breeders please don’t assume we all want a bionic pup !!

What you said doesn't make sense. @1:29 "One study of 7,700 stray animals showed dogs WITHOUT microchips made it home twice as often as non-microchipped dogs." So...none were microchipped. Ok.

Is it possible to remove the microchip b/c i adopted my dog and my contact info is not there?

At the 1:30 mark he says un microchipped dogs come home twice as often as non micro chipped dogs. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think this video is doing more harm than good. With respect to a cat, we know that the only safe collar is a release collar. If a cat gets lost and loses that collar, there would be no way to get them back home other than that microchip. Yes, as with anything, there is a remote possibility of a reaction, but the benefits far outweigh the rare negative occurances.

After any surgery vets put chips in in chipped dogs.

My puppy came microchip. I’m very naturally minded. Can I have her microchip removed.

Can I get it removed?

The very sad thing is that when you adopt which my husband and I only do as they need saving… they already have them so we don’t have f*cking choices actually, and I hope that we can ban together and END this violent and slow harm and even the murdering of our animals through what they call “va c c ines” as well - just one more thing - which are bioweapons. That is the truth and it is so sad…

😵‍💫There are definitely too many cons🙅🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ 👎🏼not worth it at all 4me.

My dog is chipped but not by my choice. Too much like MARK OF THE BEAST.
