hmmm..... the vet said that if I didn't renew my info every year that the Home Again chip could only be traced back to the clinic that gave it, not the specific animal. The info on full/basic coverage is interesting though. My main concern about recovery is that the person finding the animal would still have to get it scanned. I live in a rural area so I'm not sure that would even happen. It's pretty common for folks around here to take only minimal care of their own animals let alone one they found. It's more like "hey there's another cat hanging around lately. I'll feed that one too". However the local shelter does scan for chips if any animals end up there. I'd be worried that someone would want to keep my boys and they'd never even check for a chip though. Let's face it my kitties are cute, LOL. (granted I'm a little biased)

Anyone here have AVID? I'm wanting to say there was another brand.... something starting with an "S".

I'll try to remember to call my other vets I have used to see which chips they have.
