  Greetings!
  I have my Pyr, my Sam, and both my cats microchip. My Pyr was already
microchip by his breeder when we got him and my vet microchip the rest
of my "clan."  We had no problems with the microchip and I make a point
that every time we visit the vet, that they go over them with the
scanner, just to keep checking the serial number and that everything is
okay. Both my cats are strictly indoors, and they too have the Tattoo
I.D. and the microchip. I say that the more I.D. you have on your guys,
the better. You can never have too much identication on them. Hope this
helps.
