Both my dogs are chipped. I would kick myself around the block if I lost a dog and hadn't chipped it. The chip is tiny, described to me as "the size of a grain of rice". It takes a second for the Vet to insert it, usually in the neck area.

I have found dogs that were chipped, but the owners had moved and hadn't updated their information. So please, if your dog is chipped, make sure the Microchip Company has your current telephone number and address.
