Very cheap insurance.
In my part of New Jersey animal control, the police and vets and some groomers have scanners. Our vet scans every dog that comes in to ensure it is the rightful owner. Animal control uses it in the event they pick a dog up to contact the owner. the chip in my dog also allows the to retrieve his medical history. As an example I took my dog to get groomed they asked about current rabies shots. they scanned him and retrieved the record.
I had the implant put in after my dog escaped from my truck. I was taking him from my home to our shore home. I stopped at a convenience store to get a snack for the trip. While I was in the store he squeezed out of the sunroof and was apparently running up and down the strip mall looking for me. A mortgage broker let him into his store. I went store to store but the mortgage broker looked closed so I didn't go in. I called the local police and they gave me the address of animal control for the town. As I was driving to animal control animal control showed up at the mortgage broker. Long story short when I got to animal control they said my dog was on his way back so I waited. When they returned my dog the animal control worker that picked him up said four people tried to claim him. He said if the dog wasn't so skid-dish and ran from everyone he may have turned him over to one of them. He advise for $150.00 I could have the chip implanted with all my info and telephone number. I went right to the vet and had it put in.
