Services Did Not Work
I have both of my dogs microchipped with HomeAgain chips. Home Again charges a yearly fee instead of a 1 time database registration fee. The reason for this yearly fee is the "Help" they supposedly give you to locate your pet when it goes missing. In theory that sounds great but in reality not so. One of my dogs went missing while traveling in Arkansas. I immediately reported the dog missing to Home Again and gave them specific information on where the dog went missing. They generated the lost dog poster/flyer and it correctly stated where the dog went missing. After looking up their lost pet app for apple my dog was not listed as missing. Consequently, I started asking questions and wanted a list of the vets they contacted on my behalf. They apparently do not have access to this information in the call center. Several days later I received a list and they contacted 30+ vets etc in Georgia(home). Basically, none of the additional services did me any good in my search for my lost pet. You can have you pet microchipped with a HomeAgain chip but I would not pay the yearly subscription fees for the service. Instead register the chip with one of the other databases (they are all linked now). I like the AKC CAR database. $15 one time fee as long as you own the dog.
BTW - our pet returned home on her own approx 24 hours after she disappeared. :)
