Should You Microchip Your Pet? Shared by Bullie Pups R Us

BullyingIf you are worried about losing your pet, new technology allows for biologically safe microchips to use in the place of, or in addition to the classic dog tags. Microchips are an excellent option for a form of identification, and it is rapidly becoming popular in families throughout the country. Here are a few answers to common questions people might ask in relation to the use of these microchips.


What exactly is a microchip? A microchip is a small device that is comparable in size to a grain of rice. This device has a special identification number that helps animal shelters and local humane societies get in touch with the pet's owner.


How does this microchip work? As stated earlier, a microchip has a specific I.D. number, which allows shelters and humane societies get in touch with the pet's owner. The I.D. number is transmitted through an all-purpose handheld scanner, which relays the number to a computer screen. The handheld device transmits radio waves at a frequency of 125 kHz, which is completely safe and non-harmful to your pet. Depending on the brand of the microchip (the two most common brands are AVID and HomeAgain), the animal shelter or humane society will go to the registered microchip databases, and they will either contact you or the microchip company should your pet be found.


Where do they place this microchip? On cats and dogs, the microchip is placed in the fleshy part between the shoulder blades on their back. They cannot feel the microchip, and once it is in, it should give them no problems.


Could my pet have an allergic reaction to a microchip? It is highly unlikely. The microchip is made out of an outer shell of extremely tough glass, and has safe biological contents inside. Because of the way the chip is made, your pet will quickly develop connective tissue that keeps the chip in place.


How is the microchip inserted? The microchip is simply administered like a shot. Though the syringe may be slightly larger than that of a common vaccine shot, it will not hurt any more or any less. Your pet will not react any differently than they would if they were receiving a routine shot. Anesthesia is not necessary, nor is it recommended for this procedure.


What kind of animals can be microchipped? Almost any animal! The most common uses are dogs, cats, birds, horses (other livestock, such as pigs, sheep, or cows), and even fish! Many farmers or animal breeders microchip their animals as an easy form of identification; this takes the place of branding or tagging.


You never know when a natural disaster may befall your area. With hurricane Katrina and earthquakes, many animals have been misplaced and lost their homes. With the aid of a microchip, thousands of pets have been reunited with their loving families. Microchips are safe, beneficial, and the cost is definitely worth the security of knowing your pet has a chance of being found should they become lost.

The right microchip can make life easier...for people and pets. We recommend the American 'Standard of Care' 125 kHz chip as the foundation of a successful program.


Confusion: The recent introduction of chips operating at various different radio frequencies has created quite a bit of confusion. Don't Worry! Although it seems impossible to sort out, it is really quite simple.


The facts: America has used the 125 kHz system for nearly 20 years. All scanners being used to scan pets today are designed to read the 125 kHz microchip. Additionally, the USDA Pet Microchip Report, states that 80% of these scanners read only the 125 kHz chip and not other frequencies.


Solution: Use only true 125 kHz microchips. All U.S. compliant scanners are designed to read 125 kHz chips. See chart below...


Microchip ID products 125 kHz


Avid Secure Encrypted 125 kHz


Travel Chip 125 kHz


Avid Euro 125 kHz


Destron Fearing 125 kHz


Home Again 125 kHz


Bayer ResQ Chip 134.2 kHz


Datamars 134.2 kHz


AKC Trovan 128 kHz

Someone help me with school please...?
started a new school last year and it went well for me for the most part. I've had few friends and very good grades in my class. Theres been a few or so times I cried in class, but it all ended well. Halfway through this year my friends stopped talking to me because I was quiet and intellectual, and I decided to quit our friendship since they told me '' Wtf'' when I expressed my words naturally. They hid my face with makeup because they said I would look pretty. I don't have contempt for them but I needed to act true for myself no matter what would happen next. The girls are stuck-up and hang tight together with their headbands and bright clothing; the boys have been through puberty and hang out pretty tight with their own group and yell out in their deep voices. One of the boys who I befriended when I was little made me eat paper last year and supposedly had put a scab in my lunch. I forgave them fully of course but my strong sensitivity made me be pushed around, treated like an object, ignored and forgotten of this school year. My grades dropped from pretty much straight A's last year to C+'s and B's and I really feel like I don't care anymore. I admit I envied a few of those boys who got Principals List but I'm trying to move on from everything and have confidence in myself more. I feel lonely and sad, like it's my fault for this and how I was never assertive enough towards my past bullies. I made a friend this year that I trusted and hoped would last but she turned on me later and told me to shut the **** up and leave her alone. I stayed away from her, after all I already sobbed on the swings when she sweared at me before and I was recently called disgusting because of a juice stain on my pants by my group of classmates. Today I gave up my swing when that other class came outside and I hid in the bush for the rest of the day. I have high ambitions for high school next year, I want to start over and earn straight A's and even a Top Student Award because of my secret passions I will reveal . It will kill me inside if I don't get it and I'll be left out in the dark. I figure to myself when I'm really down that it will probably be that boy who is very popular and straight A student who will get it. Who cares about me, I'm loosing ground. I want to have friends but I'm shy and decided I've been hurt and been taken advantage of too many times. I designed something in my head beyond all those groups like an Ipod compared to a phone. I read an article about kids with Aspergers and although I wasn't diagnosed I related to them because I used to have this obsessive interest with Tigers and sensitivity with people, my senses, and my antisocial tendencies as well as how I notice tiny differences with everyone profoundly. High School is in 4 months and I'm beginning preparation now. I'm tired of staying in a counselors office and being treated like I barely exist. I wish the best for everyone, but I want someones guidance who provides me wisdom. Thank you.
