BTW, for those of you using HomeAgain, you can get the first year for free with promotion code HOL07. It still works as of a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, it's not good for renewals...
If anyone knows of a promo for free renewal, please post.
Our vet takes care of the first year of the HomeAgain chip, but thanks!

The advice given by jennj99738 is extremely important as many people totally forget to update their pet's information when they move.
Cobaka jumped when they chipped her. Although, seeing the needle, I think I'd have done more than jump.

I like that idea! In our case, my parents usually dog sit, and since they'd be the contact if we couldn't be reached, that makes a
lot of sense for us! Thanks!
