I love the micro id chips :) The only issue I found is that one practice I worked made the switch over to ONLY use the micro chips. Not an issue, or so I thought, until I chipped an a few large breed dogs and then couldn't find the chip with the scanner. Took ages for it to register on the scanner. Not designed for thick skinned dogs but love them for anything else.

Hi Charlotte,

We use the syringe ones from www.avidplc.com. Seem to be really sharp & easy to place, not had any issues :)

We moved over to the Micro ID chips quite a while ago. If you get them from Vet Direct, you can buy them for as little as £1.99 per chip (bulk order of 100 chips) So far we have had no concerns re migration etc, but is probably too early to say. I have found that every chip other than Animalcare (identichip) ones that have the anti migratory cap on them, have the potential to migrate and generally do after a few years of placement.
