| That's awesome! Where the hell was he?! Someone must have picked him up and didn't bother to bring him to a vet to get scanned  How horrible! Koda came with a chip and we got Hailey hers at her first appointment. I can't stress the importance of microchips for a husky especially. This story definitely proves their value! _________________ www.itsahuskything.com It's a husky thing... you wouldn't understand. |

| All my cats/dogs have always and always will be chipped. Although they are not actually 'proof of ownership' in some areas. Read thishttp://thepoodleanddogblog.typepad.com/the_poodle_and_dog_blog/2010/05/police-say-microchipped-stolen-puppy-cant-be-returned-to-her-family.html |

| My dogs are chipped but they can be so easily changed it's scary! We got our husky from a soldier deploying to afghanistan. Took him to the vet, scanned for a chip, got the number, called avid and registered the number under our name! So anyone who finds my dog could have him scanned and change it?! |

| I think they need to do something about that. It's not right that someone can just call up and change the microchip infomation. |

| I had to send in adoption papers signed by the previous owners to change Koda's microchip info. That's weird to me that someone can just call up and change it? _________________ www.itsahuskything.com It's a husky thing... you wouldn't understand. |

| I think with ours you can change it online as long as you have the other persons details. It depends on the company. |
