| Microchip companies I know there was a post a couple days ago about this and i had posted that I wasn't sure what brand chip Lucy had because she had it implanted before I bought her and it wasn't on any of her papers. So I emailed the company that she is registered with and they told me that the manufacturer of her microchip was Avid, well Lucy had to get her last vaccinations yesterday so I asked the vet to scan her and tell me what brand chip she had, and the vet said HOME AGAIN. So now i"m not sure what brand chip she has, I am going to assume that she has the Home Again chip since they did scan her, but is there anyway to find out by just looking at the microchip number of the dog? The company that said she was an Avid said that there are a series of numbers that determine which brand chip it is but I don't know. Anyway Lucy's microchip is 4948417462 Any help would be great thanks!

| aww now i'm just confused, but I went to homeagain and registered her with them and they didn't charge me an activation fee so maybe it's different in every area. I'm assuming that the activation fee was already paid when they put the chip in her, I don't know.

| Well i read through the post and it did help me a little bit but not entirely. Anyway I enrolled Lucy at homeagain.com but how do I update her medical history online, I never had any papers to register her microchip except for soem company called helpmefindmypet.com In that post it did say that homeagain scanners will read only homeagain numbers and notify if it is another brand chip. So, i'm assuming since the vet said she read as homeagain that's what brand she has. How do I order one of those id tags for her collar with homeagain?

Therapy Dog Donating Member | Izzy has a Home Again tag (it's yellow with 10 numbers both digital and alpha). I would say you could go to their website and get another tag - you can contact their customer service via email.
