I THINK that the person who's name it is in has to call the company or vet to give permission to change it...

No it's just that she's in a diff. country, far away. I would email and ask but i think she has limited internet access, im not sure

sweetr72 · 11-07-2007, 01:06 AM

Id give your vet a call tomorrow and explain your situation...I bet they would do it for you...unless the microchip company needs the other person to do it..hmmm im not sure how it works exactly...I had a rescue that I wanted to change the microchip name in..but do you think I can remember how we had to do it?? NOPE..I have the shortest memory in the world!! lol

mizzwanned · 11-07-2007, 01:10 AM

Usually there is an application with the chips and you fill out the name of the new owner, etc. I have used 4 different brands in the past, so I have extra applications. If the breeder is out of this Country, it is probably an Avid International Chip. I have access to the information needed to change the name.
My pups are all microchipped and I send the number and the application with their paperwork. If the application is not sent in, then the pup's chip number stays in my name with the company. Which is still OK, because I have had places call me to make sure the pup really belongs to that person.... and thankfully, they did!
If you know the brand and number, I can see if I can get an application sent to you if you can't get ahold of the Breeder, or at least get you some phone numbers.

She is in a different country? Well, I have a little experience in this! haha.

If she is not from the US and is coming to you with a micro chip from another country, usually they need a different chip. I know the Japanese AVID chip that was already in Callie would not register on any of the American scanners. I had to have her re-microchipped (as per base laws and regulations *sigh*).

No she was Sophie's previous owner and she lived in the USA. That is how i got Sophie. She had to move due to her husband's work so off they went and they couldn't take Sophie or her sister with them so they were both sold, i got Sophie. I think she's going to be there for a while but not forever. So she was registered here in the US

Amazing Yorkies · 11-07-2007, 08:59 PM

Oh Avid is the most popular brand, and will be easy to change into your name.
There is 3 numbers then a * 3 numbers and a * and 3 numbers
I usually put my sticker on the registration if they are already registered, and another on the shot record. You might try those places to look for the number.
Let me know if I can help;
