When we first brought our poodle home two years ago, we immediately registered him with AKC Reunite per the breeder's recommendation.
When we eventually had him micro-chipped, he received a HomeAgain chip since that's what our vet uses. I'm receiving notices that it's time to renew our annual HomeAgain membership for $22, but I don't know if that's necessary.
My understanding is that renewing the membership gets us additional services, but his chip number remains registered with HomeAgain no matter what, and they will still be able to provide all necessary information should someone scan his chip even if we no longer have a membership. Is that correct?
Second, since we are registered with AKC Reunite and have his HomeAgain chip ID entered in the AKC Reunite system, is there really any reason to renew HomeAgain?
My final question is, what happens when his chip gets scanned? They get a read on a chip ID, but does that specifically state it's a HomeAgain chip? Would whoever scans the chip also be provided a phone number for AKC Reunite since his chip is in their system as well?
