I have to find out WTF is up with this....I have all these babies running around, with owners thinking they are safe and now this!!!!! I was told all was taken care of with the fee and the return of the information....if I need to be telling my owners they have to do something else on line, I need to know this and I dont understand why Avid did not tell me! Any other breeders out there microchipping using Avid chips and paying for the service...do you do anything else to get these babies registered? |
I really think Avid is lacking in their services compared to others, mostly Home Again. Uni was from a broker (before I really knew). She was scatterbrained to say the least and told me Uni's chip was Home Again. I registered her on HA (I had two numbers on Uni) and they took my money just fine. I really liked their user interface and that you can update info easily and upload pics. Then I ask my vet to scan her chip and what comes up. I thought the scanner would pop up the owners number right away. He said no, just the chip number and they have to figure out which company it's from. He said her number format ###*###*### is Avid, not HA. So I contact Avid and there's nothing on their site! I call them up and I fax in her form and send money. They say everything is up to date, but I go and check on this Chip Registry lookup site and nothing. Perhaps that site doesn't work with Avid at all? I"ll need to call Avid on Monday.
Anyway, if Avid told you that was all you had to do, I'd be livid as well having all those dogs not being registered with them! With our rescue, we also use Avid, and I was told whoever gets the paperwork on the chip files it and it's done. That even though I recieve the foster with the Avid paperwork I don't have to do anything. I wonder if this is correct or not.
