Identification

[SpringerLover]

I just spent like 8 billion hours getting the AKC CAR business updated. Did anyone else have the horrendous problem when HomeAgain and AKC CAR split that I did?

One of my cats was microchipped during that time (~2005) and his information only went to AKC CAR, not to HomeAgain. I didn't realize it and thankfully didn't need to report him lost but I had to jump through a billion hoops and much frustration to get it sorted out. I lost faith in the AKC CAR stuff at that point. I figured that since they're all "registered/enrolled" in it, I should probably get it updated.

Everyone finally has the correct vet and address listed. Next is to get pictures uploaded!

No chip in the Froman. Though had I thought about it at the time I would have had it done when he was under for the dental. If he ever has to go under again...

Yes to ID tags. I made one at work with his name on one side, and both our cell numbers on the back. I may re-do it when we move to have our apartment number on it. Maybe. He wears a collar with the ID tag at all times.

No to liscenses. Though right now I am kinda glad that I didn't since I would have had to re-do it when we moved anyway. He was always UTD on it in PA, and I will do it again once we move next month.

You know you don't have to sedate them to chip them, right? I mean the dogs don't enjoy em and Sloan tried to eat the vet tech, lol, but you just hold the dog steady and inject.

I don't think anyone wants to torture Frodo that much... I know I'd be unwilling to implant and I doubt Lauren would be willing to hold!

You can get them at most vet clinics in the area, I know for sure Burnsville Animal Clinic has them. I'm assuming you wouldn't have to be a client in order to get one.... but yeah other than vet clinics, uhhh I don't know.

I won't do it unless Juno is anesthetized because I'm a weenie about the needle lol. That thing is gigantic. Makes me cringe when I have to give dogs microchips.... Juno probably wouldn't even flinch but I don't care, I won't do it.

Both Logan and Gavroche were fully awake when they were chipped and they didn't even seem to notice.

Yeah, I've never put a dog under for a chip. It's quick and painless (relatively), Sloan doesn't like strangers holding her and that was the worst part for her.

Mine all wear at least a fetching tag with my number on it. They're all microchipped as well. Ozzy and Enzo were under for their spay or neuter when they were done. Knox was not. He's a big wuss himself, but he was too busy trying to French me holding him to notice. (I'm not usually that close to his face )
