Technically yes, and it's called the slow kill method. It is not recommended anymore. There's a totally different way of treating that now that your veterinarian has to do in a hospital.

Nope, we just do it on a regular appointment. Sometimes they're here for vaccines, sometimes they're little puppies. If it’s one of their first few visits, we give them a microchip and away they go.

I haven't seen anything. I've never seen where it developed tumors, or where it migrated. These guys are designed so that they don't migrate through the dog, and they stay pretty close to exactly where we put it. The dogs don't vomit or throw up or anything like that when they have had a vaccine. I haven't seen any side effects from it.

You would think it would be but it’s not. The needle is a little larger than our vaccine needle, but dogs don't complain much at all. Some of them feel it and look around a little bit, others don't say anything. It’s over very quickly, just like a vaccine.

It’s always between the shoulder blades at the back of the neck. If it were a dog or a cat, that's where we put it. It’s kind of like that area where the mom might carry a little puppy, as it's an area that's not very sensitive.
