silverthorneOn the subject of chipping pets.
I'd heard that the different chips use different scanners to be read. Naturally, this is a concern for pet owners; what if your pet is picked up by a shelter that doesn't have the right scanner?
AVID has a page that explains it. Basically, if the kHz is correct, it doesn't matter what chip brand it is, at least in the states.
Considering Ula came with an AVID chip already implanted, and Foot's was a Home Again chip, this makes me feel a LOT better.
Hope this helps anyone else worried about their cat's chips not being able to be read. :)
