Microchiped question
We had all three cats microchipped. I was told at the vet's office last
week that there would be a one time charge for registering each cat, included in the $47 fee to insert the chip. No yearly fees. But reading the literature they sent home with me, it says there's a yearly fee of $15. WTF? Not to the vet but to HomeAgain. Has anyone else heard of this? The tech works there for a long time so I can't see how she could have not known. I was also supposed to get a confirmation by email from HomeAgain and haven't got anything yet. Suggestions. Opinions. Anyone......? |

Microchiped question
Home Again DOES charge an annual fee. I believe they always have
charged this feel. Avid, another pet microchip company, does not. With Avid (all our cats have this brand), you pay an intial registration fee and, unless there's a change in owner or address, don't pay any other fee. IMO I would talk to the vet and explain your disappointment. They should really communicate this annual fee to their customers so there is no confusion. |

I also was at first disappointed when I read about the fee. But after reading the fine print, the fee is actually an insurance for when the pet gets lost. They will then contact everyone they have in their list in your area about the lost cat. If it is found and injured they cover the costs up to a point for vets, surgery and medication. If you don't pay the fee, you don't get the insurance. Your pet will still be in their database, and you can still get help in finding it. You just don't have the insurance to cover costs in the instance the found cat is injured. |

She was off the day I had them done. |
