The problem there is a big contingent of anti-microchippers who talk about cancer (dogs naturally magazine did a big post). And since I know there are a lot of people in the beagle community who'll read something like that, I figured I had to say something. I hope I made it clear I'm for chips! lifewithbeaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13951191178911920247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009262638280150202.post-35792530134167211872014-07-31T20:39:46.662-04:002014-07-31T20:39:46.662-04:00Thanks for stopping by!

There isn't any actual evidence that chipping can cause cancer, but it prevents some people from microchipping their pets. At the shelter, I see the heartbreak of lost pets that were not microchipped every day that I'm volunteering. There's always someone walking up & down the aisles in tears looking for their lost pet. When I ask if the pet was microchipped the answer is almost always NO.<br />Love & Biscuits,<br />Cathy, Isis & Phoebe<br />www.dogsluvusandweluvthem.blogspot.comDogs Luv Us and We Luv Themhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15638529120659322412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009262638280150202.post-32898651020603586052014-07-30T09:47:30.936-04:002014-07-30T09:47:30.936-04:00Once a year, I double-check our microchip registry...Once a year, I double-check our microchip registry --- just to be sure. Back when they were first implanted, we had to send a PAPER form to register the chips, and I realized later that the information had been entered into the database wrong. I don't think it's an issue anymore since most people type their own information online, but I still check ... just to be sure the information is right.

I know the shelters, etc. check for one right away. Just a heads up- I read that microchips could be problematic if the dog is getting an MRI, so make sure the vet and whoever is doing the MRI knows a chip is there. Whether or not it would have to be removed first, I don't know...Val Silverhttp://tapinfinity.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009262638280150202.post-57628550584783490022014-07-29T20:03:15.832-04:002014-07-29T20:03:15.832-04:00Lots of good info here!
