Get the pup chipped, it costs about £10. If the pup gets lost, you get it back.

All mine are chipped, not saying it always works the way it should but it's just one more way to try and keep my dogs with me just incase.

Yes....get them chipped, you stand a much better chance of having them returned to you if they are ever lost or stolen.

yes, give your local dog warden a call they will tell you where their scheme is, if they haveone. Anyone near Plymouth for example, can get it done very cheaply at Gables Farm dogs home. its not just theft where its helpful, if your dog gets lost for any reason it will also help you reunite.

all dogs in the uk should be chipped its an excellent scheme, its by no means faultless but if everyone had to have their dogs chipped by law it would make traceability of lost/stolen dogs much easier and free up spaces in dog rescues and pounds as dogs would be reunited with their owners more quickly and also people might think twice about dumping a dog they no longer want if its traceable back to them and they are accountable for it.

as above,got mine chipped,only a 10 spot,every little helps,against the pieces of shite who theive dogs,or just dump em cause they cant train,or handle their dogs,ian

get mine done good if it gets lost and if it gets stolen. we get ours done when they are pups at the vets when they are getting their jabs they make it a bit cheeper

get it chipped you tight git

All mine are chipped and i would never get a dog and not chip it, the world is too risky, 1 of mine is also ear tattooed and i intend to get the others done to. It's a small price to pay if the dog ever does get lost or stolen.

[HiLost 32]

shame you dont live nearer c/g I would be happy to tattoo your dogs for you for free

tattoos take best when done in puppy hood, the dots stretch as the ear grows and the tattoo is larger and more easily read. But in dark skinned or dark coloured dogs it can be hard to see, same with dogs with hairy ears, so tattoo and chip together is the best choice

Has anyone experienced issues with chipped dogs developing tumours at the chip implant site? I read about this ages ago in an article somewhere has anyone else heard of this?
