    Default Micro chips??

    Pippit's been registered since I got him. No maintenance fees. Nothing. A one time deal. His chip is through AKC Home Again registry.

    Izzy and Calli are through PetWatch(it's what the rescue vet puts in) they charge $21 a year per dog "to keep the info on file".

    What does everyone else do? Who are your chips through?

    Cash and Scooter have AVID chips that I had put in at a rescue event at my vet's office. I paid to have them put in, but I don't pay any maintenance fees. Darby has a tag that says he's chipped, but I haven't registered it in my name yet so I don't know about that one.

    I just got off the phone with ACK Home Again. Izzy and Calli are now registered with them. They'll send off new tags, but their chips are no longer with PetWatch.
    And the people at PetWatch were incredibly rude!
    Glad to be rid of them!

    All ours were a one time fee. They were very helpful when we lost P'nut.

    Home Again. It was a one time fee but you can pay a yearly maintenance fee for extra services.

    Ours are microchipped with an "AVID FriendChip". It's registered to the vet's office, by default. It costs $6 for information change. $20 for lifetime enrollment for 1 pet, and $50 for up to 3 pets. No annual fees.

    I have to be honest, ACDR microchipped the girls, and I have no idea who they're with. *Note to self...find out! And do an address change!*

    And I just ordered the girlz their own collars- with their names and my phone number. Pippit has one. So now they will too.
