You've highlighted the main reason why I haven't had either of my dogs chipped. I too, read an article about how each company has it's own scanner, so it's quite possible that a vet/shelter worker could scan your pet and never get the info. I guess you could always call around and find out which scanner most of the shelters/vet clinics use in your area. What are the chances that they will all be the same or your dog will end up where they have the correct scanner? Now after reading about how that those dog thieves in NYC easily changed the chip info, I'm even more reluctant. |
