After seeing the amount of homeless pets that resulted from Hurricane Katrina we felt that chipping was a must for our Sawyer. Our vet pointed out that the pets that were chipped actually found their people again. She also said that they had one dog whose chip scanned down his leg, but it still worked! So they do tend to scan their whole bodies just in case there has been shifting.

On a different note about chipping: there was a microchip firm in Miami Beach that was marketing their product for people (creepy), by microchipping super-models' arms and demonstrating how the technology allows you to be scanned and IDed into clubs as well as to pay for stuff. All of a person's info goes into the chip; S.S.#, credit cards, D.O.B., medical history, etc. A bit too "Orwellian" for me!

So next time your credit card bill comes in a bit high............

both ruby and buster are chipped 40 dollars at the vet and 80 to register them with the company that will cover 6 dogs for a lifetime so any other [pups we get will be chipped also

Yes microchip.... When my st. poodle was 4 months old she took off into the woods with my older dog (happened in a split second) and they were gone. She was missing for 7 days in the woods. It is just nice to know that I had a permanent id on her,.

The chip in my st poodle did migrate. It is now down low on her rib cage. The vet can still easily scan it.
