| Do you renew your HomeAgain membership every year? HomeAgain is reminding me that my annual membership is due...I'm debating on whether or not to renew it and get the "extras" that come with annual renewal. What do you think about this? Do you renew your annual membership every year, or just stick with having your dog's basic information in the database? |

| Home again is one of the companies that registers microchips in pets. I've always renewed mine but I've started to wonder if it's needed. All I really need is for them to have my contact info if one of my munchkins ever gets lost.

| I have not seen anywhere on my forms where they needed annual fees, nor have I been contacted. I've never heard of this. You need to contact the Vet. who microchipped.

| My vet told me it wasn't needed really, and that she didn't do it for her pets. The initial fee gets your info in the database forever.

| really so you dont have to renew with them, I thought you had to for them to keep your information current. I mean I didnt know otherwise, I just thought you had to. I have been renewing each year but if I dont have to that would be nice.

| I did call Home Again to ask about the annual fee and they said I can still stay in their system and that the $16.00 is for additional help such as Travel assistants, lost & ASPCA hot line. So you really don't need to pay annual dues if you don't want.

| Yes, I was going to write that I thought that was what it included...I thought I remembered something also about them automatically contacting or sending posters to all area vets and shelters if your pet is reported as lost...I don't know if that is something that is included if you don't pay for the annual membership...I didn't find that I could get really clear answers on their site. |

| I just did Bijou's renewal a few days ago. I thought it covered the poster and notifications too....does it? I get emails often for missing pets in my area so I want Bijou's picture in as many faces as possible to get her back. My great pyrenees is chipped too, but Barley was neutered when we got him, so he hasn't had a need to be put to sleep for anything. I can't stand the thought of that big needle poking him. It will be on the list though if he ever needs his teeth cleaned.
