If you consider microchipping your dog so you can locate it in case it gets lost or because the law requires you to do so, you may be doing it more HARM than good.
Here are some true stories of dogs that developed cancer after being implanted with microchips…
Seamus, a 5-year old bullmastiff, developed a tumor (hemangiosarcoma) around 2 microchips implanted in between the shoulder blades in Sep 2009. Three months after the tumor was removed, the cancer returned. He was eventually put to sleep in Feb 2010.
The owner wanted to prevent Seamus was from being stolen, so he thought he did the right thing by giving him the microchip implant. Little did he know that it was a death sentence for his dog.

Scotty, a 5-year old Yorkshire terrier, also developed a tumor (malignant lymphoma) between his shoulder blades where the microchip was implanted. He was given 1 year to live.
Leon, a 9-year old french bulldog, was diagnosed with fibrosarcoma at the site of the microchip implant in April 2004 and eventually died. Here’s a memorial website dedicated to: Leon and sharing the real TRUTH about pet microchips and vaccines.
Several studies have clearly shown the link between microchip implants and cancer in laboratory animals and dogs.
Dr Katherine Albrecht discusses the literature published in toxicology and pathology journals showing a causal link between implanted radiofrequency (RFID) microchip transponders and cancer in laboratory rodents and dogs in “Microchip-Induced Tumors in Laboratory Rodents and Dogs: A Review of the Literature 1990–2006″
I strongly encourage you to check out the FAQs on microchip implants for pets and human posted by Dr Albrecht. Discover how microchips cause cancer and how a leading microchip manufacturer lied and misled the public, causing unnecessary deaths.

Thank you for sharing this important information. Unfortunately, those promoting microchip implants are not warning the public of potential adverse reactions associated with microchip implants. Instead, the chips are promoted as “safe” and “life-saving” devices. The truth, however, is that there are serious potential adverse reactions associated with microchip implants.

It is also important to realize that microchip scanners cannot read all microchip implants all of the time. A document published in JAVMA even says, “None of the scanners examined had 100% sensitivity for any of the microchip brands. In addition, there were clear differences among scanners in regard to sensitivity.” (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19046030?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DefaultReportPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum ) This means that your animal may be scanned for a chip but the scanner may not be able to read it. This is what happened to a dog named Hadden. Sadly, Hadden was euthanized because the shelter’s scanner could not read his chip. Here is Hadden’s story: http://www.avma.org/onlnews/javma/jul04/040701a.asp
