Owners of dogs who are chipped. Is the chipping process painful? Does it take long? Is it expensive? Can you feel the chip when it's in the dog? Where do they put the chip?
I lied. That's more than a couple. lol!!!
Thanks for your help. I know my dogs should be chipped but they are 3.5 and 6 pounds and I hate the thought of it.

I don't recall anything on the package about a Magic Potion being sewn into the construction but, hey, if it's in there and it's helping my Maddie I'm all for it! lol!
Seriously though, it's made of t-shirt type material and it wraps around the dog's neck, stomach and chest and over their back so they feel secure. The first time we put them on the girls they froze in their tracks and I told my husband 'it works alright, they're now comatose!' but after a few minutes they finally moved, actually they shot like a rocket across the room and jumped up on the couch because they aren't used to wearing clothes! lol! But, now that they are used to them they really do help with anxiety whether it's from a storm, fireworks or a ride in the car.
It helps if you put the vest on the dog before they get a chance to become anxious about a situation but you can put it on them whenever they need to use it.
