One thing I will add though is that neither shelter we adopted our Chi's from told me that I needed to go online to the company that their chip was registered with(AVID or 24 petwatch, I believe) within a year and pay a yearly or lifetime fee to maintain the info on their chips. I guess if you don't do that the info for the chip reverts back to the shelter/vet that did the chipping. That is very important info not to have told me!!! Sue MI
