As of now I don't know what brand my vet will use,but I guess my question is when I register with my micro chip company should I also register with others? I am so confused about this matter and of course I want the best for my Mia,just in case she would ever need to find her way home! |
The microchip needs to be registered only
once, for the company that manufactured it. The vet will give you the necessary papers if they don't file the papers themselves. Then the chip number will automatically go into a national database and be accessible by vets, humane shelters, and animal control agencies who find lost dogs. The annual fees you hear about are for extra "bells and whistles" that are not necessary.
