Lucky, over here the cheapest is $70 per puppy. I pay $10 per tattoo. I don't have the option of chipping OR tattooing when they're being spayed neutered as CKC requires the permanent identification to occur before the puppy goes to it's new home, otherwise they can't be registered. I find the tattoos are alot easier on them -- you wouldn't really think so, but my puppies find it alot less traumatic. The only time I had bad luck with tattoos was when I went to one place who did a poor job and they needed to be re-done, but the chips were a nightmare, they can't be read, Tandem's can't be reg'd so it's useless, his sister needed to be re-chipped etc.. I really feel like I wasted money for nothing. Even if the chips could be read, I find alot of times the shelters don't bother scanning. My friend does Belgian rescue and finds chips in the majority of dogs she takes in (at the vet) but the shelter never bothered to scan. Unfortunatly so many of the chips can't be read, so they're useless.
