HuskyGuerl Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Do you think this would really work? Its rather cheap and I WOULD NOT administer it my self I would take it to the vet to have it done. But I would love to microchip my dogs but its kinda expensive around her and this is a cheaper route. http://www.kvsupply.com/home-again-microchip This is actually rather cool also http://www.kvsupply.com/pc-pet-id Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I wouldn't want to microchip my dogs myself unless i went on a quick course on how to do it Quite like the little pen drive though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julieanne Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I don't think a USB on a collar should replace a microchip, it's useless if taken off or if you dog manages to break his/her collar. I would ask your vet if the top one is a good idea, if their doing it then you shouldn't have any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #5 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Home Again is reputed to be a good company. I hope so since Sasha is chipped by them and registered. Personally I like both ideas - it as only a matter of time before someone provided a "home chipping" service - but your vet tech would probably be the best idea for implanting it. The pen drive looks like it would be an excellent addendum to a chip, but I wouldn't want to depend on it as the sole means of identification. Remember though that there's a yearly (or lifetime) registration fee for the chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 if it works out cheaper go for it , i would check they will actually do it that way before you buy it tho , they might only want to use THEIR chips all dogs even if chipped should be tagged too , i like the USB idea but how many people would be able 2 take another dog home to check it? i know if i found a dog i wouldn't be able to take it home to check its tag out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyGuerl Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Great thinking guys. I will be checking into all of this and possibly purchasing this Summer if the money allows me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARRINGTON Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I think it is a great idea!!! I was taught how to microchip at the humane society, never did it on my own animals just on other peoples I think microchipping is extremely important and I like this idea!!!! What about the humane society there do they have low cost chipping? I think ours does for like $10-$30 while at the vet it is like $65-$75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I come up with a stray, I'd be going to the vet to have them checked for a chip anyway, most vets have a computer around somewhere - though whether they'd plug in an unknown USB device is another matter.

love4Luna Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Mine wasn't expensive at all. $15 no registration fee, no annual, etc. I think it was pet911 or something. We went with free pet chip registry to register. Free for the life of pet, and accepts all microchip brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
