Hi I'm in Los Angeles already had my dog microchipped by the vet. I used Petlink. Seems all good, but I looked at the list of Microchip "detectors" and they were all other vets and rescues.

I'm thinking the microchip by the local city pound is a different microchip brand. So if they were to drop him off at the pound they would not detect his microchip right?

So would it make sense to also take him to the Pound and get him microchipped with their brand? Also, get him microchipped with all the diff brands just to be on the safe side???

Anyone know about this?
