I had Cassy and Sassy chipped while they were nuetered (at 4 months). Athough their shoulders were tender, I couldn't tell that the chip was there and wondered a bit. (Boy, I'm over sceptical sometimes...) Several months later Cassy had to be x-rayed due to an emergency and I was pleasantly surprised to see how clearly his little chip appeared in the x-ray.

I am very relieved to say that although all three fur-babies have chips, they haven't been needed to date to identify them. But it is realitively inexpensive peace of mind having them.

[Reminder to self: I must let AVID know that Sassy has gone to RB...]
