Microchipping?

Question

Does anyone know approximately how much it costs to get animals microchipped? I have a dog who is already microchipped but I would like to get my three cats chipped as well. Has anyone recently gotten their cat microchipped? Would you recommend it?

Answer 1

I definitely recommend it.  

Prices will vary.  Our area charged ~$30.00 but sometimes the shelters will promote this for almost free or a donation. Some clinics will offer special deals in conjunction with other services you may be having done at that time. You just need to call around and ask.

I do want to remind everyone that the chip will not work if YOU do not take the time to register your pet after it is done.  I can not tell you how many clients I had that forgot to do this, or moved and did not change their information with the registry.  

Otherwise -  I believe it is a great idea.    :)

Answer 2

Again, depends where you live. I work for a Cat Sanctuary and we charge £12 for microchipping.

Answer 3

All depends on where you go i got my 3 cats done for £15 each they got a new micro-chip thats out that takes their temperature too.

Answer 4

it depends on where you live, if you tell us at least what country your from then we could help better.

Answer 5

try the local animal shelters, humane societies, and pet stores. they are low cost and often have a scheduled weekend sometimes for discounted vet care .
