 | |  | | I am so shocked at this. Has anyone read the study at all? It used a small number of rats genetically predisposed to cancer. You know how many dogs have got a tumour? None. Out of millions of pets worldwide. Not chipping is so silly. You really think anyone who finds your pedigree dog worth hundreds is going to look at the tags and bring it home? I've worked with lost dog sites, and the majority of pedigree dogs are not found by well meaning people. But any vet with suspicions can scan and reunite you with your dog.
As for anaesthesia for such a tiny procedure, anaesthesia can kill a dog, why would you risk that to save the dog 2 seconds of pain? It really is so tiny, just like how babies scream when they have shots, dogs will cry, for moments, that's all. If the dog is having an op then cool, do it then, but otherwise just get it done. If you're so worried about the pain, you can have it done yourself, it's called an RFID chip, a friend of mine has one done and uses it to unlock his computer.
Seriously, chip your animals, it is the only sure way to get your dog back every time. |  |  | |  |
