Some chips require you to subscribe to a service in which the service keeps your babies info on file, and cross referenced by a number. Either way, if the system is used, the chip helps make things more complicated for those who are not so honest.

Normal chipping procedure
" An enrollment form is completed with the chip number, the pet owner's contact information, the name and description of the pet, the shelter's and/or veterinarian's contact information, and an alternate emergency contact designated by the pet owner. (Some shelters or vets, however, choose to designate themselves as the primary contact, and take the responsibility of contacting the owner directly. This allows them to be kept informed about possible problems with the animals they place.) The form is then sent to a registry keeper to be entered into its database. Depending on regional custom, selected chip brand, and the pet owner's preference, this registry keeper might be the chip's manufacturer or distributor, or an independent provider. In some countries a single official national database may be used. After receiving a registration fee, the registry keeper typically provides a 24-hour, toll-free telephone service for pet recovery, good for the life of the pet. Some veterinarians do not complete the registration on the owner's behalf. In these situations, the owner must register the animal, usually through an online application. A failure to complete this step will lead to a pet whose chip can be read but whose owner cannot be contacted due to the lack of information associated to the chip's unique ID."

Help me out here! I am trying to research this as you suggest, but I can't find any chip manufacturer that actually has anything on the chip other than the chip number and contact info for the registry service. One of my pups is not microchipped, and I would like to get it done at his next vet appointment, and if there is on that makes a chip that could contain my info, I would like to use that chip.

Who makes the chip that can hold this extra information? I can't find them anywhere online. The ones I find all rely on a registry to get the owner's info. Also, would this require a vet with special equipment? Because when they get the chips, they would only contain the basic info (chip #), since it isn't known what owner will end up with each chip. Once the chip is in a pet, there would be no way to add data to the chip. Or do you special order it from the manufacturer and have them put your info on the chip, then you have your vet insert the chip?

BTW, the information you quote on "normal chipping procedure" does not contradict what I said and does not indicate that owner info is located on a chip, it just says that the chip gets put into a database, or registry, with the owners info.

Any information you have on a chip with expanded info would be much appreciated, because I have done as you said (Do you research) and I simply cannot find a chip like you describe. I would like one, so if anyone can give me the brand name of theirs, I would be grateful.

Wikipedia does not even describe such a chip, they say when the chip is detected, one still has to call the registry to determine the owner: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microchip_implant_(animal) If you know of a chip where more information can be added to the basic chip data, you should go add this to the wikipedia article, it would be valuable information.

Thanks for the update Jeanette, glad to hear he's doing well, hope the next vet appointment for the second opinion goes well, would love to know how it goes.

Thank you for continuing to share this experience with us. Many prayers that your 2nd opinion will answer your remaining questions. Dogs (shhh, don't let on that I called our furbabies that ) can be so resilient... they don't hold grudges, they let go and live life to the fullest. SO, SO, SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

Wow, what an amazing story.
I am so very happy for you and your family
and most of all Armani.
I guess we will never know what he went
through during that year he was missing but
he sure had a tiny little angel sitting on his shoulder
watching over him.
What a true miracle this is !
