I am not particular happy about micro chipping animals in the possible fear of cancer down the road. noone knows the possible bad things because its only been around for 5-10 years... I have heard stories of cancer causing problems, and more, but I guess its good for most.... I just think, if you are going to have an INDOOR! cat. theres absolutely NO NEED for micro chipping. I am against this... I do not recommend, but obviously we have no choice...

Pros: ok

Cons: possible cancer causing?

Very reliable, we scan all animals coming into the shelter, then scan before and after the implant of a 24PetWatch microchip.
24PetWatch will reimburse you for the purchase of 2 scanners per year, allowing you to deduct from the chip invoicing

Pros: We use with 24PetWatch

Cons: None

A must-have device for every shelter and vets' office.

Pros: Identifies microchip # IF animal has a chip

Cons: expensive

Our shelter microchips all the puppies and dogs. We check out any lost dogs to see if they have a microchip. Every shelter should have one.

Pros: Easy to use.

Cons: none

A great way to identify animals. We use avid microchips at our shelter. It helps with lost pets, finding owners, and with identification of animals within the shelter (especially with puppies/kittens of the same color). Everyone should microchip their animals.

Pros: A great way to identify animals

Cons: n/a
