microchips

[chris nanney]

Readily available:

True Paws through Banfield at Petsmart. They do two chips - one for the most commonly used frequency and another with a different frequency.

ResQ chip offered at my regular vet.

Avid microchip - available at a clinic at an upcoming show

Any recommendations?


Also, I'm planning on having some health tests done at some upcoming shows. The tests will require the AKC registration number and either a tattoo or permanent ID #. I'm assuming that an ID number from any of these chip manufacturers will suffice for this purpose. Is that correct?

I believe Home Again chips by the AKC is the most used/common chip. That is what all my dogs have.

yes a chip is considered permanent ID

AKC has their own brand of chips now but HomeAgain and AVID are your two more common brands. I used AVID on my litter last Fall but have used HomeAgain in the past. Avid is a one time registration fee where as HomeAgain you pay a yearly fee for their recovery service.

I have AVID chips too. Piper's was done at the vet and Hugo's at a pet fair clinic. No yearly registration.
