I think it's a bargain! My vet charged $40 USA.

Microchipping really caught on in our area after a sad story involving a dog that escaped from a yard while her owner was at work. The dog had no collar, because the owner was afraid she would get it caught on something. (Apparently, she hadn't noticed the racks of safety collars in the pet supply stores.) The dog was picked up by the Humane Society as a stray. They held onto her for five days, then another family adopted her. Much upset, controversy, name-calling, letters to the editor. The original owner eventually got the dog back.

Anyway, it was after that that Don Juan and I went to see Dr. J. Don Juan now has a microchip SOMEWHERE under all that fur.
