Your dog would not need to be anesthetized! It's just like getting a vaccine - the needle is large, but no larger than a good sized IV needle. I've had all of my cats and both dogs done, and most didn't even squawk.

My vet discouraged me from microchips. She said that not many places had scanners and that my dog would have to be anesthetized because the needle is so big.
