Avid micro-chipping registration fee is $15.00 per animal. Avid has a registration program for eight pets for the total cost of $40.00. This is even worth using if you only have three animals because you save $5.00. There is a $4.00 surcharge for every time you update your personal information.
If I am not mistaken Avid is the number one micro-chip company in the United States being used by animal shelters and rescue groups. Home Again is the second leading micro-chip company being used. I know in Chicago, Illinois that the city's animal control and Anti-cruelty Society (the biggest non-government agency) use Avid micro-chips on their animals. The group I volunteer for Precious Pets, Almost Home uses the Avid micro-chips in their rescue pets. You may want to check the shelters and rescue groups in your area to see what brand of micro-chips they are using. You see Avid micro-chip scanners do not read the Home Again micro-chips and vice a verse. There is a universal micro-chip scanner that can pick up all different types of micro-chips. The problem is that most shelters and rescue groups do not have one! The universal micro-chip scanner is very expensive! Since I started doing rescue, I encourage anybody that ask me about it to have their pet micro-chip! Food for thought! Precious Pets P. S. I am behind in reading the groups' posts.
