I see little ones all the time in my area. Most people that do have there dogs chipped, will have the yellow tag. That is if they have there collars on still. A mircrochip does not guarantee you will get your animal back, but it does keep them from being pts if they are taken in too a shelter, at least until the owner can be contacted. & Only if an honest person finds and takes the dog to be scanned.

Her body is already fighting getting well. The microchip must do a little antibody activity when it is first inserted...plus the stress of the situation. I remember waiting four days to get Desi's microchip was an eternity because I didn't want to lose him if he got out somehow. I asked my vet one time if when people bring in new dogs if he scans them for a microchip...he said he only does it if the person asks for him to do it. That was very saddening because I thought about if someone stole Dolly or Desi that they could go to a vet and just say they were theirs and the vet wouldn't check to see that it was my dog. But, I think the shelters check, so if they just got lost they would be scanned. Yesterday there was a min pin puppy running down the street and then went into my community and went down the cu-de-sac...he knew that I was following him. He had a collar but no tags. He actually tried to jump the block wall...and as little as he was he had his front paws up almost 5 feet. I worry about him because I didn't see him later. I hope that someone was able to catch him and perhaps get him to a vet to check him for a microchip...and then I worry that he got back on the main street and got hit by a car or something. He did growl at me and I couldn't get close enough and I was running late for Church. Of course, if I did get to hold him, I couldn't really bring him home until after church. I hope that his family has found him. ________________________________ To: [email protected] From: [email protected] Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2011 14:56:08 -0800 Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Re: Microchiping Oh Yes Sue I agree totally! I had Dani done right away when I got her spayed. When I adopted Ori I had his changed to my info right away. When I took Caramella in for a check up with the vet, they said it was best to wait a few weeks for her kennel cough to clear up and for her to gain some weight before we did the microchip.

It is well worth it in case they ever get lost. The pain isn't any more then when they get a shot. We had a man come into the shelter today who just lost a Sheltie that had never been microchipped. His chances of finding her are way less for that reason. Sue MI --- In [email protected], "Beth M" <classy1ride@...> wrote: > > How many of you have your dogs microchiped ?
