PoppyDog Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hi Everyone, My 9 week old CKCS is not micro-chipped. I spoke to my vet this morning and she said there is a $5 discount if you do it when you de-sex them. BUT females have to be 5 or 6 months before they get de-sexed...so my question is... Would you chip now? Or chip later? I'm not sure I'm ok with having her not micro-chipped for the next 6 months. ESPECIALLY after reading the thread about Ipswich council pound (we live in that area). So what do you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Pixie* Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) I would chip now, it's only $5 that they're taking off the price. Edited February 15, 2010 by *Pixie* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I thought Poppy was a crossbred. Get her chipped now. It might save her life. It certainly will be the fastest method of identifying her should she get lost without a collar and ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundyburger Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Chip now. My puppy came microchipped already. ETA - PF, this was taken from a previous post I didnt have all the knowledge I have now when I got my pup. She is actually a Cavalier X Cavoodle.

PoppyDog Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Thanks everyone! I think I will get her chipped when we go to have her 2nd vac. Poodlefan - Sorry...she is a crossbreed...but very Cav so thats how I think of her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're posting in the CKCS thread, people who don't read more widely would conclude from your posts there that she's a purebred. No reason to cringe about it now but grooming advice etc is very breed and coat specific. If you need a shorthand version she's a CKCS X or Cavalier X.

Miss B Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I'd chip straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticks1977 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Some local councils offer a microchipping day, it is not free mind you ($25) but I see it as a wonderful initiative to let people know that microchipping is out there and one of the best forms of identification for your pet. If anyone is within the City of Casey (south east of Melbourne) here is a link below... City of Casey - Microchipping Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkeyre Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I would get her chipped and desexed as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD26 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I'd do it now. $5 isn't worth waiting for. Have you notified the council about your problems with the "breeder"?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoppyDog Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Thanks Everyone! I agree $5 is not worth it! She is being chipped tomorrow! I hope she doesnt yelp to loudly or I might tear up! Lucky my fiance will be there to be the strong one! FD26 - I haven't notified the council...I wasn't sure it was worth it. I haven't even asked the seller to pay for the micro-chipping. What do you think I should do? When I rang my vet to ask about it they asked straight away if I had got my puppy from a pet shop as if to say that if I had she should of been chipped already.

Nekhbet Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Having had the microchip needle go straight into the fleshy part of my thumb I can tell you it is so sharp it doesnt hurt most dogs having a whinge are either sooking or the microchipper is being too rough/not knowing what theyre doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GABBA Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I got my pup done the other day, he let out a little sound, and forgot all about it after about 5 seconds, so I think it's safe to say tere are, or should be no issue regarding pain.

Well the crossbreed definetly "explains" a lot. Chip immediately. IMO any breeder who does not chip before they sell is unethical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsha_UK_AU Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) I need to get Tagnan (14 month old CKCS) chipped, I don't believe he's chipped already - at least the breeder didn't state that he was and I didn't ask at the time. Can the vet check to see if he's chipped already when we take him in for chipping? That way if he is, we can get the details changed over. We have our receipt of purchase for him from the Breeder. When we get our puppy in 3 weeks time, we shall be getting him chipped ASAP. Least it means that as well as the shire tags, that they have a means of identification, should their collars be removed.
