Haven't had my cats done but I would get any new one(s) chipped. It's nothing - honestly. Dinah was done when she had her first puppy jab @ 10 weeks. She was only a little thing (smaller than a cat; went to the vets in a cat carrier) and she didn't feel a thing. Worst bit was holding her - half fascinated watching it done, half horrified. The fascinated won, especially when she disn't squeak! |

Just something to consider; Darcy had been microchipped by his previous owner (I have all the paperwork), but I had him scanned at the vet on his last visit and nothing showed up on the scanner. Can these chips go missing? If so, where? Surely they don't drop out? The vet ran the reader across his whole body and it didn't respond. Can the chip be faulty? |

I think they can do both Yola (but rarely) - migrate within the body and either get lost to the scanner or pass somewhere where they can get to the outside world; or migrate back out through the skin. Should ask the vet to scan every time they go for whatever purpose, to check they are still in place. |

Everytime I take the girls to the vets normaly for boosters I get the vet to check the microchip.  |

Both my indoor only boys are microchipped - my reasoning that if they did escape they would be less likely to find their way home. I had it down while they were under for their castration though as the needle scared me!!  |

MR Darcy, twix and oatmeal were all chipped in januray. I was worried silly about them, having heard some horror stories. They were all fine, over in seconds, not one meow whinge or anything. We got them all done for free!!! which was a bonus. Going to get PF done after she had her kittens, she'll be done for free too. they even offerd to microchip all my bunnies for free too and said theyve done a snake! |
