I'm looking into getting my horse microchipped and freeze branded. The microchipping incase she ever got loose and the freeze branding also if she got loose since she has a very very common color and no markings. I'm just looking for general prices on both (because obviously I'm not gonna call the vet at 2am). Since I'm putting the dental work on a credit card I might as well get anything else I need done as well. Generally in the USA how much can I expect to pay for a microchipping and freeze branding?
Is it a vet who does freeze branding or how does that work? I was talking with my trainer about it tonight and he likes the brand I want to use (very unique symbol that I came up with when I was younger and have used it on a few things since) and I'm gonna look into what all it takes to get a brand registered with my breeds association, but I did not think to ask him who does the branding and costs of it (he does not have any horses he personally had branded, only horse they have branded came with it).
Please and thank you!
