is what the microchip is, I had it done when the boys were fixed, it was 10 each and then it is $40 for a lifetime family membership for up to 8 animals with Avid. I had it done at the locale humane society. I also had my cat chipped. All the shelters have the scanners and it makes me feel safer, as it was stated, tags and collars/halters can be removed. If my boys were to get lost, it makes me feel better knowing that they are chipped. A perfect example was last week, I went to take the trash out, as I opened the door, both boys were sitting there, I told them I would be right back and turned and closed the door, I walk about 20 feet from my apartment towards the dumpsters, and who comes running by me, But Bengie (he has been in the house and I do not keep their halters/tags on in the house). If he was not such a total little showoff, I could have lost him, but he had to show off to Mom that he had followed me. LOL.
