| Make sure it's universal. If I'm not mistaken it should have ISO written somewere. Some require certain scanners while a few can be scan with any scanners. I called my vet and checked which brand she uses and I then called shelters to see which ones they use. Then read and do your research which one you think is more convenient for you and your furbutt. Good luck!!

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Some companies charge a yearly fee, and I would choose a company with a lifetime fee. I chose Home Again, that's what the vet used, and it's a one-time fee of $30.00. Home again will provide free scanners to vets, and other places, and this means that their scanners are easily available.

Who put the chip in? They should have giving you some paper work with the number. Do you know what brand; maybe you could contact the company and find a place where the chip could be read. I would think the Humane Society would have something to read it, otherwise it seems kind of worthless.

| Tell me about it! my biggest fear would be she got lost and returned to the wrong person, however if the HS and vets here cant read it then i dont have to worry about that, and she does have I.d tags with my name and #

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Yeah, most of the time the I.D. tags are enough, most people are honest and would return the dog. I've always been worried about if you have to prove the dog was yours. I think I saw some Lassie movie as a child, and they were in a courtroom, two people both claiming the dog was theirs. That movie must have really impacted me! Would Joey run up to me, or would he run up to the thief, who had a bullystick in his pocket?
