Folks,
Just my 0.02 on this subject. Millions of chips have been implanted in dogs, cats, ferrets, livestock, etc in the past 10 years +. I have seen 3 documented cases of cancer at the injection site of the chip in dogs in my various veterinary journals. Until I see evidence that is more condemning, I see no medical reason to stop placing chips. BTW, all my pets are chipped for identification purposes (crazy gate-opening dogs!)
Like I said, just my opinion,
