how do you get your pet chipped?

Question

how do you get your pet chipped? so that if they are lost they can be identified

Answer 1

Take it to the Vet. They do it for about £15

Answer 2

I just had my dog chipped 6 weeks ago. The vet did it at the same time as his neutering. I paid $35 for the chip and there was a $15 registration fee to be paid to the National Data Base.
There is pain if they do not give a local anaesthetic. The needle they use to insert the chip into the shoulder is a large cage needle. This is why most vets tell owners of young animals to have it done while your pets are spayed or neutered.

Answer 3

best places to go are you're vet's or you're nearest SPCA centre, you may also find that they are the cheaper option, i think they charge about £10 ish, and vet's normally charge about £15-20. The process is really simple and fairly painless, I've had both my mutts done and neither one of them yipped or even flinched (and believe me, my dogs are complete wusses any excuse for some extra attention and cuddles...) The chip has a code number in it, every one individual, and if you're pet get's found wandering, the feed the number into a database and voila, you're details are found, you can also change address and additional details and also upload pictures of you're pet onto the database using their website...(oh and in the uk they have cut the additional registration/change address charges if you use the website, really handy...)
hope this helps, take care ttfn ;o)

Answer 4

The vet. Its around 30 to 40 $$ but after you will need to register the chip # with the city.

Answer 5

The vet will do it. It costs £15 - £20 and seems quite painless, just a very big needle . I had my cats chipped when I lived abroad, when I came back to the UK one of them went missing and was returned because he was chipped. Well worth it and it works!

Answer 6

You just take the pet to the vet - they will insert a microchip underneath the skin - minimal discomfort for only a few days. There might be some itching - but it's done and over with, no worries.

Answer 7

Answer 8

All my six cats were chipped many years ago when I got them. Our humane society did it for $5 as they were trying to up the "return to owner" rate of cats which was only at about 15% of all the cats that came to them.

Answer 9

GO TO THE VET THEY USUALLY PLACE THE CHIP UNDER THE SKIN ON THE NAPE OF THE NECK THIS CHIP HAS YOUR DETAILS ADDRESS ETC.
IF YOUR PET IS LOST THE VET CAN SCAN ITS NECK AND RETURN IT TO YOU HOPE THIS HELPS

Answer 10

try the vet or a low cost spay and neuter clinic if you have limited funds they usually cost around 35 dollars and then another one time fee to register your pet with the company.
