If my dogs require a general aneasthetic I have asked my Vet to tattoo them on the inside of the thigh like they did the Pit Bulls. Dawn.  |

I think collars are a very personal thing - some people like them, some don't. When people adopt a cat from me & ask about collars - I always say - it's up to them, but always point out that my own cats wear collars & when Mitten was killed - someone stopped & read her tag & called me straight away (my mobile number is on their collars) if she didn't have her collar on - they would not have known to call me.  |

Only one of my two is done, I keep meaning to get Ginger done (he is 15 next month though, his age has always put me off), I have had good intentions of doing it this year - but then Pebbles decided to land me with a high vet bill!! I might just get him done at next month's weigh in - woudl have had him done this month after deciding not to go through with any more treatment on Pebbles, but the vet nurse went home early, the vet was fully booked, so the receptionists did the weigh ins!! Edited to add: both my two and the 2 long term fosters all wear collars and tags - Ginger has a proper tag, as he keeps goign in neighbours houses, the rest have ID barrels as none of them will let people near them (even i can't always touch them outside!!) |

I am the "will get them microchipped one day" brigade... but this thread has made me think... They are speyed and collared/id tagged but microchipping is the ultimate security I agree. |

I'm planning on getting the boys done when they are neutered (September). Don't know why I am squeamish for them (had Dinah done with her 8 week jabs, she was only a little baby puppy; she didn't appear to feel it) In the meantime they are supervised when outdoors. Is that OK Smudgley? |

Ninja is chipped (routine at our rescue ) and wears a medallion with NINJA and our phonenumber on it. I need to get Sweep and Jigsaw chipped (and will get Sweep done next week and book him in for the snip, then Jigsaw will be done a few weeks after as they're both staying in for at least a month) and I need to have medallions made for them - but in the meantime they know where the eating's good and won't run away in a hurry... They've been strays in this neighbourhood for a long time.Still, the fact that they're strays does indicate that I need to get it done, which is why I'm sorting it out shortly  Edit: Ninja and Jigsaw are altered, and Sweep will be neutered in the next week and a half. |

Drake is neutered, chipped and wears a collar with tag (most of the time - he has a bad habit of loosing them  ) Drake went on a mission about a year ago and he was gone for a week! I was SO worried, but the fact he was microchipped helped. I immediately called all vets in the area and they assured me they would check for a micro-chip if a cat was brought in and so did cat rescues..... I must say, it was a weight off my mind as I was pertified he would be taken in somewhere and re-homed!! |
