This saturday (21st May) you can walking in to the RSPCA on Spring Street and get your pets microchipped for only£5.00. This is a one of and I think it is well worth it.
I will be taking my dogs there anyway.

Just thought I would let you know.

Just a thought, can i get myself microchipped so i don't get lost?

be handy if i ever got amnesia :rolleyes: :hihi:

Nice one. I keep meaning to get Mishka chipped.
Thanks for the info. Emma

I have a pet Ant.
I dont want to lose him/her (Can't tell) how big are the chips?

I've heard of a few ways they do it. Either a small cut and they place it inside or i've heard they can now inject it???? Dont know if that's true.

Tempted to take my Charlie but him being a yellow Labrador who love shedding hair (especially at the moment as it's warming up!) he totally messes the car up !! It looks like it's snowing underneath him as he walks!

Cheers for that, will take my 2 cats cos were moving house and i think they'll wander back to the old house.

Brude's was injected

If you lose charlie you'll regret not gritting your teeth over the car. You can get seat covers for £6 in wilcos

You're right strix which is the reason i'll get him done. He's a swine for running off to other dogs which may lead me to getting other things done. :wink: 'Ouch' says Charlie

Darn it - I paid £21 to have my kitten done yesterday at the vets... if only I'd known. Isn't hindsight a rotten thing sometimes :lol:

The one the vet inserted was like an injection, done in the scruff of the neck and it didn't really hurt her much at all. It is very difficult to feel it now that it is in.

yeah, i got my dog microchipped today...

I had been meaning to get it done for the longest time, but, meh, he's done, now... and he got his nails clipped, too, so got him sorted out in double quick time.

All the micro chips are, is a teeny, tiny pellet, hardly the size of a grain of rice, that the vet injects under the skin in the nape of the animal's neck. It's just like when the vet gives the animal its booster jabs. It's that quick, and that simple.

The animal suffers no ill-effects, and it means that the animal is identifiable, shouls it get loose, or, god forbid, get hurt in an accident.

I hope the weather is nice and so I can have a leisurely stroll into town with Max and get him chipped. When I first got him he was so cowardly or rather terrified that I didn't have the heart to put him through anything that wasn't strictly necessary. Time passed and some how he managed to avoid the pleasure of being chipped but I've put a note to remind myself on top of my television unit and he's going to be done!!!

Don't worry, it'll be our turn shortly in the future! So don't panic about 'missing the boat'. :thumbsup:

Hey. What time does the RSPCA open for chipping on saturday?

hey, I've been googleing to find out more info on the animal chipping (times etc) but can't find anything. Where did you hear about it?

Can the microchip a puff adder?

Can the details of the chip be changed once its in the pet?

I'm moving house soon.

Yes, they can. The chip contains a unique number that is then matched to your information in a centrally held database. So there shouldn't be any problems changing the information.

You're a lifesaver can do my cats now, and breathe a sigh of relief as we're living all over the place just now. My biggest worry is they'll get lost trying to go home when I move them about.

IS THIS ONLY FOR CATS AND DOGS? IVE GOT A PET TORTOISE WHOM IM THINKING OF HAVING CHIPPED

I believe it starts from 10am, and goes on until 2pm ish, but expect there to be a lot of people there, wanting to take this offer up, at that amazing price!

Bumpy rumpy dump

That's today folks!!!!!

Max is now the proud owner of his very own micro-chip. It didn't bother him in the least and as I was there at 9.45 there was no queue and the procedure took less than a minute. I enjoyed the walk into town although I don't think Max was too impressed as I did wander a bit looking at all the things that have changed since I was there last week.

It looks like it's snowing underneath him as he walks! Just to confirm, they actually inject the chip, its quite painless to the animal if its done right, they are usually injected just above the shoulder blades.

Just one question,

If I have the dog chipped will it be able to eat imported dog food :D (Think XBox).

Or is it like chipping a car and he'll run faster.....






Sorry, i'll get me coat.

I've just chipped my cats.

I've now found that if I fiddle with Patch's bum she can change the tv channels, but if I fiddle with Blackie's bum he just lays down and purrs. I do worry about Blackie. But then again, he seems to live a happy life.

Oh, hold on... the RSPCA are at the door...

Just thought I would let you know. Perhaps they'll do the same with people once the Identity card comes into action, get yourself probed for free !
