Why would I need an endodontic procedure? Endodontic treatment is necessary when the pulp, the soft tissue inside the root canal, becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can have a variety of causes: deep decay repeated dental procedures on the tooth or a crack or chip in the tooth.
"I think microchipping is good, but they just need to be aware they have the correct chip in their animal." Banfield has some 350 hospitals, mainly in Petsmart around the country. They implant chips in pets at a cost of about $30 each.

As an aside, if you really want to, you can buy a scanner to do the check, but typically you can often feel them. The chip, in cats, is usually injected under the skin between the shoulder blades. If your cat is normal body weight (or thinner), you can sometimes feel the small, slim, cylinder there.
In dogs and cats, chips are usually inserted below the skin at the back of the neck between the shoulder blades on the dorsal midline. According to one reference, continental European pets get the implant in the left side of the neck. The chip can often be felt under the skin.
You typically can't feel the microchip if it's placed in the right location which is between the shoulder blades. Sometimes the microchip can migrate from its original location and end up somewhere else. My previous dog had his microchip migrated to the left side of his chest and you could feel it while petting him.
Myth 2: Microchips have a GPS function and you can find your dog in case he gets lost. Microchips are ID chips which are implanted between the shoulders of your pet by a veterinarian. The only possible way to make use of a microchip is for someone to find your dog, bring him to a vet and read the scanner tag.
The chips behind dogs' ears are merely barcodes, so they can be identified if they turn up at the pound—they're not GPS trackers. To implant a GPS tracker in a child, you'd not only have to insert a chip under their skin, but a bulky cellular receiver and battery, too.

Microchips are ID chips which are implanted between the shoulders of your pet by a veterinarian. Good to know: Microchips for dogs are not equipped with a GPS function. This is the main disadvantage of dog microchips, since they cannot help you find your dog if he gets lost or runs away.
A microchip is a radio-frequency identification (RFID) implant that a vet inserts under your pet's skin. This chip contains a unique identification number. If someone finds your lost pet and takes it to a veterinary clinic or shelter, the staff scan the animal for the chip.
Implanted devices have been used in farm animals for a while, and RFID chips with GPS capacity are commonly implanted in personal pets for tracking purposes. The question is how, once such the implants become widely accepted and used, such devices will evolve in their capacity and application.
Pet microchips are not tracking devices. They are radio-frequency identification (RFID) implants that provide permanent ID for your pet. Because they use RFID technology, microchips do not require a power source like a GPS.
Chip implants may help with identification if, for example, a pet is left in a shelter or at a vet's office, but the chips do not have GPS installed in them. It's not possible to magically sneak GPS cards into a device after the fact, either.

A: The average cost to have a microchip implanted by a veterinarian is around $45, which is a one–time fee and often includes registration in a pet recovery database. If your pet was adopted from a shelter or purchased from a breeder, your pet may already have a microchip.
