TO chip or NOT to chip?


Ahh Microchipping....just as controversial as dog food and politics. There are two good sides to every argument, and I wanted to discuss them.

PRO: As small as a grain of rice and claims to be safe, reliable and can re-unite you and your lost pet. And the only positive way (besides tattooing your pet to have it identified). http://www.healthypet.com/library_view.aspx?ID=78

CON: claims related to causing cancer and tumors at microchip site, as well as being an unnatural. Read about Argo: http://www.petsfortheenvironment.org/blog/2008/06/11/allies_dog_argo_and_the_microchip_dilemma#comment-431
