To microchip or not?

My dogs are chipped. I had Layla chipped and the shelter Jake came from chips them before they leave. Layla was four months old when hers was done and she didn't even flinch when it was injected into her.
Our shelter will chip a dog or cat for $20. I have the vet techs check my dogs chips when they go in for their appointments. So far, so good.

I've always gone with tattoos myself because of the problems I've seen. I guess it depends on what a person prefers.

I don't have none of my dogs microchipped....Pepe has a tattoo because he came from the HS...they don't wear their tags inside the house (I'm afraid of them choking on the harness from playing, I don't let them wear collars beacause of their small tracheas), only if we go out...just my preference, I'm also afraid of tumors and whatnot.
