SFsailor Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I recently heard that a microchip is going to be coming out that is GPS enabled. Has anyone else heard of this? If so can you point me in the direction of the information on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Wow that would be fantastic! Sometimes dishonest people don't want to return found pets. Then some of us should get the chip because I saw a sign the other day "found bird". I need to check into it. I'll keep an eye out for info too.

lovemyGreys Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 As far as im aware there is not one available at present,it is something for the future.I would speak to your local vets & see if they know as to when such a chip would be on sale for pets.

Mel Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I tried to research this. If I understood what I read it is imposible at this time because of the sizing. Hence it available in the form of collars. I read China used it for migratory birds to monitor bird flu. However I didn't understand how wether a collar or implant. Then I also came across info on causing tumors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittykittykitty Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I heard about the tumors also. Further, the chips available now are not read by all scanners. One vet I talked with advised against it:ohmy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
