Kaji has a home again chip but I wish I had done more research. I would like to have an international chip instead of what he has. There are no annual fees with home again unless you want the "premium" package.

No way! Yuck. there wouldn't be reason to anyway, there's no info on it. Plus I think I am just going to call AVID.

Katie had two chips. One from her original owner and then one put in for YTNR.

My mini poodle with the AVID chip has a 9 digit chip and now they are made with 10 digits. I think the chip she was given earlier this month by the vet who spayed her has a bunch of old chips.

Kaji was chipped early August of 2009. That's almost 3 years ago.

I didn't read anything on the faq page about faxing or anything like you linked. That info was more clear.

That looks the same company, but I think that site is more about worldwide information about the AVID company in general. The site I linked is just for registering and updating information, should you move.There's another site which is comparable to the site I linked but it's for UK citizens.

I always thought the Avid chip by the AKC was behind in technology...LOL
hugs,

Another question

I see the Petlink registration fee is a bit less than directly though AVID. It says Petlink is guarranteed to work with any brand chip. So when the vet scans an AVID chip, how will they know to call Petlink?

Ok got off the phone with AVID. They don't do registry over the phone bc they need a signature for the payment info. So I will be faxing in this stuff today. However, next hurdle, is bf put about 5 bikes in their boxes in front of my desk where the printer is.

Sorry for the stupid question. For some reason I thought microchips wouldn't work if there were two of them.

Well maybe Uni wouldn't want to run away, if you'd start spoiling her instead of making her work in your bike shop every day! Poor little thing.

Haha you're right. Uni's been on strike for a few weeks now.

She's been on strike? Who's putting your bikes together? I can see from your avatar, she takes her job seriously!

HGome Again because it's the company that offered the Humane society and the county shelters a deal on the equipment.

She's the official greeter. She's been so lax lately, people have been actually asking "where's the little dog at?". Then if they're lucky she will pop her head up from her beauty nap.

That's her in the avatar doing some bike tricks, drinking PBR and NOT working.

ETA: so it's done, form faxed in to AVID, waiting for them to process and mail me confirmation.
