  • A friend adopted a Dachshund from an animal clinic and the poor dog has terrible allergies I suggested they ask their vet if the microchip could be causing allergies, aggravating allergies or cause any type of negative health issues. The vet said absolutely no adverse side effects have been attributed to microchips. I told my friend to get a new vet. Tattoo appears to be a superior form of permanent pet ID. First, they want to chip my dog then they want to chip me.

  • DO NOT MICROCHIP YOUR PET!!!. this is a NEW WORLD ORDER SCAM!!!. THIS IS TO TRACK YOU AND YOUR PETS, THE NEXT STEP IS TO MICROCHIP YOU!!!!, NICK ROCKEFELLER, SON TO THE BILLIONAIRE DAVID ROCKELLER WAS ON RECORD TO SAY, ALL THESE ELITESTS WANT TO DO IS MICROCHIP THE POPULATION!.. 1984 GEORGE ORWELL HERE WE COME!!

  • You don't own a pet that can run away, and do its own thing. I perfer to be called my cats caretaker.

  • I want to do a study on pet behavior between animals who are chipped, and those who are not. I noticed my cat is very active, sits around people, plays, and is friendly. When I vist my sister in laws house who has two cats from the humane society that were chipped. They hide under the bed, and don't want much interaction. They are not old cats it is unusual for young cats to not have much interaction, and play. One of them is sick, and throwing up clear mucus now.

  • I won't take animals from a shelter because of this reason.

  • I don't understand why people want their pets chipped it is worse that removing a cats claws. Chnaces are you won't get the cat back if it runs away anyway. Chipped animals are being used as an experiment to test wether chips will work in the human population. Don't get the chip it is a death sentence.

  • Can a microchip be removed?

  • @MCdmac Yep! Give them an inch and they will take a mile. I strongly recommend watching: Money as Debt, Freedom to Fascism, Ring of Power, Vibration Creates Form, Esoteric Agenda, Jim Marrs the 4th Reich, American Drug War Americas Last White Hope, The Polarity Matrix Field, Graham Hancock - Quest for the Lost Civilization, Michael Tsarion - Architects of Control Program, Agenda 21 For Dummies, Rik Clay & 2012- RIP, Fluoride Deception, Indigenous Native American Prophecy.

  • Do a quick search for "tattoos linked to cancer." It seems slightly silly to be against one and for the other, solely on grounds of risk of cancer. And were in the world did you read one in ten? I've read that in ONE study, and it was very small, had NO control group, and it was ONLY in regards to mice (who were bred to be especially prone to cancer.)

  • If they were standing there with a scanner to scan your pooing pet, they would be there to write you a citation anyway. These aren't long distance scanners (yet.)

    Better than a collar because they fall off, wear off, break, and are far less permanent.

    And actually, if you look up statistical return rates of microchipped animals, it's pretty impressive. Of course statistics aren't perfect, but it has to mean at least something.

  • Read more. This research was done only in mice and rats. Additionally, most, if not all of the lab mice and rats used were of a strain developed specifically for research and were especially prone to cancer. Also, most of these studies weren't don't specifically in regards to cancer linked to microchipping. Thus, there was no control group so the data means very little.

    Studies in cats and dogs are pending but extensive surveys show no link.

  • If this is true and if it was documented by a veterinarian, you should make SURE your vet has reported the cancer to the proper organizations. Vets and scientists are working hard to have all cancer related to microchipping reported so they have better data.

    So far, the data shows that the risk is next to nothing (unless you pet happens to be a lab mouse or rat from a special strain bred specifically to be prone to cancer.)

    Personally, id' never microchip my mouse or rat. Dog or cat? For sure.
