In fact, the procedure takes seconds and no anesthetic is required. The chip is injected between the shoulder blades, and your dog won&#8217;t feel a thing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-a-stud-finder-find-a-microchip\"><\/span>Can a stud finder find a microchip?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>No, a stud finder, metal detector, ham radio, walkie-talkie or super spy ring DO NOT detect a pet microchip.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-do-you-tell-if-a-dog-has-a-chip-implanted\"><\/span>How do you tell if a dog has a chip implanted?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Take the dog to the office and ask the employees to check for a microchip. A veterinarian or a veterinary technician will scan the animal and find out whether it has a microchip implanted, and whether current contact information is available for the owner. Update the information on your own pet&#8217;s microchip routinely.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-do-you-know-if-an-animal-is-chipped\"><\/span>How do you know if an animal is chipped?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To tell if a dog is microchipped, gently feel the dog&#8217;s skin between its shoulder blades and its neck. See if you can feel a small, hard object about the size of a grain of rice just beneath the skin. If so, the dog is microchipped. If you can&#8217;t feel a chip, however, the dog may still have one.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-best-microchip-scanner\"><\/span>What is the best microchip scanner?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Results (in a nutshell): HomeAgain&#8217;s scanner won for overall sensitivity at 93.6 to 98.4% across all six microchip types.

Since there&#8217;s no battery and no moving parts, there&#8217;s nothing to keep charged, wear out, or replace. The microchip will last your pet&#8217;s lifetime.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-much-is-it-to-microchip-a-dog-at-petsmart\"><\/span>How much is it to microchip a dog at PetSmart?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The price of getting your dog microchipped through PetSmart costs anywhere from $25 to $50. This depends mainly on location and the types of chips being used.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does-petsmart-have-microchip-scanners\"><\/span>Does PetSmart have microchip scanners?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At your pet&#8217;s annual checkup, you can ask your vet to scan the chip to make sure it is working properly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-much-does-it-cost-to-put-a-dog-to-sleep-at-petsmart\"><\/span>How much does it cost to put a dog to sleep at PetSmart?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Based on the online price estimates, you can expect to spend around $120\u2013140 for a euthanasia package for a cat or a dog. Taxes and additional fees may apply depending on the area you live in.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-i-microchip-my-cat-myself\"><\/span>Can I microchip my cat myself?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to microchip your cat, make an appointment with your vet because it is only safe when done by a vet and many states make it illegal to attempt it yourself. Once you&#8217;re at the appointment, complete the paperwork that registers your cat&#8217;s microchip.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-much-do-microchips-cost-for-cats\"><\/span>How much do microchips cost for cats?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>around $45<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-painful-to-microchip-a-cat\"><\/span>Is it painful to microchip a cat?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Is it painful to my cat? It hurts about as much as having blood drawn. The chips are usually inserted without incident in awake animals, even in the tiniest kitten. Although the needle is large, it is sharp so that most animals do not even flinch when the chip is inserted.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-do-you-tell-if-a-cat-is-microchipped-without-a-scanner\"><\/span>How do you tell if a cat is microchipped without a scanner?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cut a strip of paper to roughly 3\/4 inch wide and close it with scotch tape. Put a message on the collar, such as \u201cAm I yours? Please call (your name &#038; phone number).\u201d This will show the owner that someone is concerned. Many local veterinarians and animal shelters will scan cats for a microchip, free of charge.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-microchipped-cats-be-tracked\"><\/span>Can microchipped cats be tracked?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s a common question among pet owners: \u201cCan I track my cat with a microchip?\u201d The quick answer is no. A microchip doesn&#8217;t provide you with the real-time location of your missing pet.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-i-take-a-stray-cat-to-the-vet-for-free\"><\/span>Can I take a stray cat to the vet for free?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, veterinary care for stray cats is not free. If you can&#8217;t afford to take a stray cat to the vet if they look sick or hurt, you should take the animal to a local humane society or no-kill shelter where they can get the help that they need.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-do-i-find-out-my-cats-microchip-number\"><\/span>How do I find out my cats microchip number?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The microchip number is stored digitally within the microchip that has been implanted in the animal. If someone uses a microchip scanner to scan the animal then the microchip number will be displayed. Vets, Welfare Organisations, Dog Wardens and many others will have access to a microchip scanner.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-microchips-have-gps\"><\/span>Do microchips have GPS?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Pet microchips do not have GPS technology. Instead, they use Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology that is able to be scanned for information, like the pet owner&#8217;s contact information. This means that microchips can&#8217;t give your pet&#8217;s location if they get lost, but can lead to their safe return when found.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does-the-vet-register-the-microchip\"><\/span>Does the vet register the microchip?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While the responsibility for ensuring details are recorded or updated on the database is the responsibility of the keeper, in reality many veterinary practices will take on the responsibility for registering details of the keeper for any microchips that they implant.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-cats-wander-off-for-days\"><\/span>Do cats wander off for days?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cats like to wander, so there is a good chance yours goes missing now and then. In our experience, it is not unusual for a cat to be MIA for 24 hours at a time. Some cats even disappear for two to three days at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you have to register your dog in Hawaii?
