| In doing research on the chips I came across some independent sites that register your chip information. I am considering registering Buster with these additional sites. In doing Bengi research I was saddened by the number of missing Yorkies. I am thinking the more info out there the better. I agree with Capt Noonie that the Home Again site is much better than the Avid. Buster has an Avid chip all ready and I don't think I want to subject him to another implant. I found one free one Microchip Registry | Free Pet Microchipping Registration | Found Animals and one for a yearly or lifetime fee helpmefindMYPET™ Register Your Pet Do you think it is wiser to be registered at multiple places?

| It seems the right thing to do. Wonder what those that work with shelters and for vets on YT have to say. I can't see a downside right now. Waiting to see what everybody thinks and if there would be some reason not to. Course all sites would need to be kept current with any changes, etc. but it sounds reasonable to me that the more the better.

| It's not a website change. They don't offer that option. You have to call or fax it in. But agree, I still think it's nickel and diming people.

| My foster Katie ended up with two chips also. She already had one, but our rescue group had to implant one as well.

| So is that the reason they charge, because they require all of that - someone to handle the fax, emails and enter the info? The more people that handle something, seems like the more chance for error or missing somthing. I'd rather do it myself free any time I want to add or change something such as the picture or change his vet info.

It just seems that with so many different kinds of chips that there should be some consistency so if a person moves to another area they don't have to worry about the chip being valid there. | |

There should be some assurance our chips are scannable, workable throughout this country.

I had to go to the Shelter on Saturday and check on a male Yorkie that was listed. One of adopters, that adopted a Yorkie he has been missing for over a month now. We check every day. This particular shelter had just put this Yorkie on their web site, so I flew right over there. It wasn't the one we are looking for. However this poor baby did have a Micro Chip (Home Again) when they scanned it. The shelter called and the owner had not registered their information. I pray that baby get reunited with his owner. I also pray every day that we find our adopters baby. He is Micro Chipped (Avid) We have called and listed him as lost and they (Avid) have at least 4 contacts for our group if he is found. We believe that someone has taken him and is just keeping him. This is so very sad.
