Im wanting to microchip my siberian huskies but someone told me its bad for the health of your dog now i am having second thoughts
thanks everyone
They told me they put the chip in the head
Absolutely untrue. It’s perfectly safe. And it greatly increases the chance of having your dog returned to you if she ever gets away from you somehow.
People say all sorts of things that just aren’t true. They usually mean well, but unwittingly pass on incorrect information.
The only thing that I can guess is someone might have thought is that the chip somehow provides some sort of power or radiation or something? That’s not true. The power is in the scanner used to read the chip, not the chip itself. The chip is totally inert.
ETA: HA! Well that does sound bad! No wonder you were concerned. But it’s not true.
The chips is injected with a needle under the skin of your dog between his shoulder blades. Here’s some information and a video if a dog being chipped: http://public.homeagain.com/howworks_twoways.html
If you still have question, call your vet and ask about the procedure. Your vet should be happy to explain to you what he will do to your dog, how the chip works, etc.
And if you got your dog from a shelter, make sure the vet scans your dog before you get her chipped–many shelters chip dogs before they are adopted out these days. She could already have a chip.
No there is no problem with microchips. I know several breeders who have been doing it for years and never had a problem with it.

We have chipped all our dogs for years.
Since we hunt with them they are out with out leads and loose.
They could slip a collar and there would be no id on the dog.
So we chip all our dogs.
I have never had any issues with them and the dogs health.

its not bad for them. all my dogs are microchipped, never had a problem. and the chip doesnt go in their head, whoever told you that is an idiot. it is usually put inbetween their shoulder blades.

Our family has 7 siberian huskies and they are all microchipped. It is 100% safe. It is sealed and is inserted in the back of the neck just under the skin. Very safe and easy process and you also will have the piece of mind in case you Huskies every get loose!
