I wish this guy would just get to the info… The attempt at comedy is suuuuper cringe. Uuuuuhhhhhhhggggg
My cat has a microchip implant in his shoulder. He’s a sweetheart.
Interesting, Thank you
I would rather make a collar that sends information
Doesn’t anyone know that micro chipping your pet, is literally putting a computer in your pet? Your pet is a living soul they live, and breath and they are putting artificial whatever in your pets body. Who knows when you microchip your pet, it could kill them, we don’t know what they are putting in this chip, they might be trying to kill out pets!!!!! And whatever happend with putting collars with cameras on your pets. This is wrong
Chipping dogs is mandatory by law in England now. Mark my words: one day they’ll make mandatory to microchip children.
Mostly a waste of money. Only works if your pet ends up in the pound/shelter because if your dog is stolen vets never MATCH the chip to their supposed owner.
Great, Now we will have Cat-hackers
We have all been "chipped". Your smartphone is an amplifier. Your DNA has been recorded at some point in your life.
Lol i laughed when he got irritated about his cats chip
I lost my cat today, and she has a microchip and a collar, how can we find her?
This video was posted years ago but fellow pet owners I NEED HELP! Long story short: we’ve had an outdoor stray cat for 12 years. We finally took her to the vet today and she actually has a microchip! 😖 Now I want to know that if I look up her past owners information will it automatically alert them or do I have to manually contact them? The microchip company is Avida of that helps with my question.
He is fun to listen to! Thanks for your time and information!
It’s unethical to microchip a dog.
Why linus is here
Why would one need a pet scanner?
If I find a stray the vet or shelter have a scanner and would find the owner
Fuckin yap central bruh
It appears to me that these are a small, widespread and integral part of our communications grid. Are these really safe? And are they shut off upon pet death & deregistered so the account information can be returned to pet the owner?
What might a pet owner lose to sign up for one? I think someone lied to me about whether my Apple head Chihuahua (Pachi) had a chip because the place who said they chipped her referred me to a vet who said she (Pachi) had no chip present.
Are pot bellied pigs good pets?
So it’s only useful if someone else finds the pet and is nice enough to take it to an animal shelter?

Why you don’t keep it inside your neck idiot? So criminal
I did not expect to see Linus pop up when researching cat stuff! 😅
how can i track my cat from microchip , I injected microchip to my cat 3 months ago and now i lost her
Hello! Loved this video, we have developed A pet i ID tag system that includes GPS location, let me know what you think. https://youtu.be/65mxhhmMyL4
I need to wait for someone to find it ?
prob is the chip can move around the body and not stay in the neck. when that happens the scanner wont find it as they only scan the neck where it was put in.
It took my vet ages trying to find the chip she put in as it had gone halfway down his back and it had only been in for a year.
another prob is not everyone has the right scaner as each chip maker uses a diff scanner way of picking it up. til its been sorted out so al chips use the same scanner they r next to uselss. plus if its not a vet who gets the pet they wont have a scanner to use anyway as only vets have the scanners.
It is compulsray in the UK to get microchips in dogs but not in cats.
Both my cats have microchips but by diff vets as the 1 done in my oldest cat closed down and the 2nd cat used a diff vet and they both use dif companies to register them with. 1st 1 i have the detalis and pet tracker info so i can look at their website and report the cat missing. but the younger cat i didnt get any info about the microchip or who its registered with. only its not the same company as the older cat.
the vet will only have scanner for the company they use and it might not detect microchips from other vets.
so the tags on the collar r still the best way to go.
Plus its very painful to put the chip in. my vet refused to do it unless the cat was sedated 1st. so they ususly only do it if the cat or dog is having other treatement done that requires them to be sedated. 2 diff vets my cats have used and they would only put the chips in when they were getting nutered.
Some ppl pick up cats by the scruff of the neck including some vets. if a microchip is in it could cause it to pop out or move away from the neck. My old vet picked up my cat by the scruff of the neck but the new vet says no never do that as it hurts the cat. only mum cats should do that to its kittens cause they know exatly how to pick them up to make them go into a sleep so they dont get hurt or struggle.
My dog ran away but he has a micro chip so I’m hopeful
Dude I have a stray cat WTF do I do ???
I didn’t know that LTT have another channel 🤣
In the europe there is only 2 chips that they are allowed to use FDX-A and FDX-B.
I have a question about reading the chip in the pet and about seperated tags.
Can you infect use a normale card NFC reader to read the chip, or does it need a certain herz.
Also how do you program a seperate tag. If anyone has the answere it would a biiiig help
Next: how to factory reset your cat
Eh kinda unnecessary
What a fucking joke,just another conservative TAX….
SAME WAY TGE MARK OF THE BEAST. BLOOD FLOW POWERS THE CHIP. UR DOG IS THE TESTING GROUNDS 4 THE MARK OF THE BEAST. N U CAN’T EVAN LOCATE UR DOG.
If only it has a GPS on it. Lost my cat recently and have no idea where he is
It’s really painful
You are the only YouTuber who said dislike if u don’t like it😅 subscribed ✅
Once your pet has microchip contact Scott_Morhgan öń îñśtâg his very good in finding pet location with the use of microchip
That square space offer code don’t work anymore bruh …. 😒
Does all microchips have gps or only some? And how to trace your animal then???????????????
Who else is here in 2021
My father and I have been looking after my Aunt’s cat at our place. Now we can’t find it. We have turned the whole house upside down and even checked cupboards. We had ALL the windows ajar in a minimal locked position of 2 inches so no WAY he could’ve gotten out of there as A) hes a big cat and B) they haven’t changed position.
I came here in the hopes there would be some way to track them but I guess I’m screwed. gona search the neighbourhood now :[
EDIT: Found him in a pouch under the sofa which somehow didn’t expose his frame when we lifted it, so all good /big sigh of relief
Damn Ninja Cats
But I can’t personally track my pet?? Like it doesn’t tell me where it is ?
my cat got lost and the chip doesnt work😭
L i n u s
PLEASE DO NOT MICROCHIP!!!!
MY DOG DIED because of the CHIP!!!!!
