No, not at all. The microchip is smaller than a grain of rice and feels like a shot. Other than the prick from the insert it does not hurt your pet. Once inserted your pet can not feel the microchip. Microchips are only beneficial. If your pet is lost, then found, he has a chance to be swiped for a microchip. If a microchip is found then a number will be read. That number will contain your information, such as your phone number and your address. If you move your microchip should be updated. I believe all pets should be microchipped.

Microchips cannot hurt your pet. If your pet is lost, then found, but does not have a collar on then there is a chance that he will be swiped for a microchip.
