Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | types of chips We are getting two puppies in October and will get them chipped. Have a question about the brands of chips - and does the scanners the vets have read all the different manufactured chips? Is one chip brand better than another? Tks, Lynn

YT 1000 Club Member | From what I understand... I could be misunderstanding it. There are 2 types of chips. There are 2 different readers. The readers will "see" the other chip type but can not read it. They will know the dog is chipped though and can try to borrow a reader from another vet's office or from the local pound if necessary. I think they are making more and more of the chips more universal though so that it can be read by all readers. My sister used to work in a vet's office and they had one type of reader and a vet they knew had another type of reader and they would take dogs to the other vet's office to get a reading if they couldn't read the chip, but they knew there was a chip. This was several years ago though and I have heard that they are trying to make the chips more universal. If your dog is chipped and taken to the vet they should be able to see that it has a chip even if their reader can't read it. I wish all vets would scan all new dogs brought in for chips at the first visit to help track down stolen dogs. I went to a vet that took a digital picture of your dog on your first visit and put it in your file. I think that is a good idea. They had a description of the dog and any markings on it as well. Very detailed. Not just Yorkie, silver and tan, but actually a picture and any other details about the dog and chip numbers and it was awesome.

| Absolutely chip AND register it online. Chipping does little good if you don't follow up! Jmho. And Buddybear hardly knew what happened it is so very fast. |

| When my vet gets a new client they always scan the dog for a chip to make sure it belongs to the person that brought the dog in and not a stolen dog. I don't know about various chips.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Thanks Joan, that helps. I have also heard of some people doing a Tattoo on the dog, say at the top of the leg on the inside. When we owned horses, they use to Tattoo a number inside the upper lip.

| Microchip Lookup Tool My little girl has an international chip, since she she came from a Canadian breeder who purchased her microchip from the Canadian Kennel Club. Katie was three years old when she joined our family. I had her vet records when I brought her see my vet, who I have been going to for the past nineteen years (except for the almost two years after I lost my last Yorkie). They scanned her for a chip and wrote down her microchip number for me. A scanner checks for participating microchipping and pet recovery agencies and the link below helps you to check to see if your information is up to date. It's a good idea to check this list periodically and to have your baby scanned to make sure the chip is still working. . Katie's registration paperwork also contains her microchip number. All it could take is for you to sneeze for an instant to lose sight of your pup. It can happen to the most careful of owners. There are microchip companies that offer enhanced services for a yearly fee, but for basic recovery services there is no fee other than the initial cost of the microchip.

Another downside is people who find or steal dogs don't want to take the dog to the vet, even if they need vetting, bc they are afraid the vet's office will scan for a chip and find out the dog isn't theirs.

| Here is a form for Avid. Now that you've moved, you will need to update your information unless you've already done so. It looks like you will need to call them. https://avidid.com/sites/all/themes/...pdate_form.pdf https://avidid.com/pet-owners/friendchip https://avidid.com/pet-owners/microchipping101

| What I mean is, Avid has our info, but if I put their chip number in the generic chip ID search, nothing comes up. Does anyone else get real actual info of their chip with another chip company?

YT 1000 Club Member | There is a free registry where you can keep your info up to date even after your year with other companies. I have all of my dogs microchips put into that as well as the site their chips came with in the hopes that someone will check there if they can't find them through the regular chip site. Found Animals Pet Care, Spay & Neuter, Adopt a Dog & Cat, Pets Jobs LA You just make a profile on there and then you can enter all your animals chips into it no matter what company made them. It is nice to have them all in one place as some of my animals have chips made by different manufacturers.
