I have Joey's chip registered with the AKC, their lost and found program had a onetime fee, and actually help contact vets and shelters in whatever city he's lost in. This can be helpful, especially if you’re traveling and your dog gets loose. I wouldn't register in too many places, some of these places won't be around in a year and others are doing it just to get personal information from you, i.e. a name, address and phone number. You might be bombarded with junk mail and unwanted calls.
