My heart felt thanks to Dr K and to Sukie for their insight and sharing. May I share you thoughts with the dog group from which I received the study info?

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,
