Daily poll: Does your bulldog have a microchip?

[Pati Robins]

Yes -Shy was microchipped by the dog pound and lily by the breeder
Even if one of them wasnt i would microchip them straight away

Please let me know what you find out because I'm going to start bugging my vet about it lol

I will let you know when I find out something. I just know that the vendor supplied him with a sample to test.

Ok, I think my vote went is a yes AND no! My iPad is stupid. Both answers checked off when I checked yes. Before I could uncheck " no" it got sent. Yes he does for the record!

Buster was chipped when he was clipped at 10 months.

Mayhem has not been micro-chipped yet. We are waiting for the vet to get the newer technology that has GPS built in

April got chipped when we had her spayed --- would so love the GPS chip to be a reality --- i heard they have been trying for years but there was a cancer issue , and battery life problems

 

[santinomom]

Yup, he sure is

 

[Daphnee]

This isn't a microchip, but a collar with GPS..http://www.pettracker.com/ I'd be very suspicious with an implanted "GPS".. Battery life, radiation emission UNDER the skin, size.. I think that technology is, or should, still be some time away.

In Australia it is compulsory that all dogs are microchipped before sold. All dogs sold on sites must have a microchip number advertised. So yes Bazza has a microchip.

 

[Sheena]

Nope not yet. I need to get on it!!!

In Finland all pedigree dogs are microchipped before they go to their new homes. At around 6 weeks they are checked by the vet and get their chips at the same time. So yes, both of my boys are chipped.

Sadly, no. We meant to have on put in when she was spayed, n then when she did the cryosurgery but forgot to ask...stupid humans. I still would like to have it done. I hear the needle is very large, the chip us about the size of a grain of rice. Not sure it it is a painful procedure or not. The first vet we went to said not to do it when she was awake..?? I'll look into it again w the new vet.

 

[RiiSi]

Really? In here 6 weeks old puppys get microchipped, so it can not be that painful or need anesthesia....

After I posted, I took a step back n realized the source of my info..the vet that told me that was the vet that allowed Brie's eyes to worsen for 2 weeks. I asked the new vet who said yes it is a larger needle but is still pretty much equivalent to a immunization shot. Some dogs just wiggle w it more cos of the area it is done at. I want to get it done for Brie at some point in near future.

Absolutely. I wanted every advantage of getting my baby back if she ever gets lost or stolen.
