That is a microchip. We get lots of email in regards to microchips and it seems as though there is a misconception surrounding the microchip hysteria. These are some common facts about microchips.
The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice.
A microchip is administered through injection. Anesthesia is not required or recommended.
Your microchip is only reliable if it is registered to you!
Microchips operate by radio frequency and are classified by kHz. Such as 125 kHz, 128 kHz, 134 kHz. Certain frequencies are more prominent than others and more widely read. It's important to ask about the differences.
Microchips have been priced everywhere from $10-$50. A fair price is $35-$40.
Remember, a microchip is not a tracking device. If your dog gets lost, you cannot pick up a signal and locate your dog. Instead, the person who finds your dog would need to bring her to a veterinarian and allow the Dr to "Scan" for a microchip. With this. If your dog's microchip is registered to you as the rightful owner, you should receive a phone call from the vet's office about your missing dog.
