The cost of getting a microchip for your dog or cat is about $45. It's a one-time fee and there is a much higher chance of your dog getting found again. Your dog is family and you can't put a price on the safety of your dog.

Can inserting a microchip be harmful to a pet?

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.
