Correct, it is free to register your pet online. If you want ADDITIONAL services (e.g. travel expenses paid upto 500, emergency help, help with posters etc), you can pay the 16.99 annual fee. Click that link to read what those ADDITIONAL services are http://public.homeagain.com/faq.html#needmicrochip

Don’t let the “additional” fee discourage you from getting this microchip.
I am definitely getting it done next month while my dog is getting spayed.

I know people love their pets and often companies advertise grandiose plans but fail to provide the unprofitable follow up.

Gypsies are known for running stolen pet scams. Everything from having a similar dog visible in a car quite some distance away but you have to pay before you can approach the dog to verify if its yours or not to such things as selling you the fake ashes or whatever they can think of.

Also, don’t overlook the easiest way to defeat a burglar alarm: pick up the family pooch when its running around the neighborhood and keep it for a few days, then call and say “I’ve got a hungry dog here can you come pick it up”. You get to some weekend home just as its getting dark and some guys with guns greet you and show you your dead dog just to convince you not to futz around with giving them the wrong code to your alarm.

Ah Vicki – You must be the callous, insensitive female dog I got on the phone when I called Home Again.
Your “customer service” is a TOTAL oxymoron.
Not only did I have to listen to ~5 minutes of “press 1 if you want to buy this, press 2 if you want to buy that” nonsense, and then wait another 10 minutes to talk to a (barely) human being, once you connected me to the person who called to report that she may have found my missing pet, you disconnected me, and I had to go through the entire routine again.
Your service called me – why couldn’t you leave the callers name & number? You had my e-mail address, why didn’t you e-mail the report to me? I am registered on your website. Why don’t you have these reports available on-line?
Never mind, I know why now. Because they are just in it for the $$ and they hire minimum wage, insensitive morons like you.
Everyone…….. Save yourself the aggravation and use a different chip service.

You’re obviously just IGNORANT & CHEAP!! How many monthly bills do you have that equal to a little over a dollar? NONE, I’m sure!! That annual fee, which is TOTALLY OPTIONAL, is $16.99 a YEAR! Get it? A YEAR!!!

No you don’t have to pay another $17.50!! If you’re already enrolled with the AKC, you can call them and have them send you a confirmation of enrollment. You can send that to Homeagain and they would register the pet at no cost. You just won’t have the new services that they offer!!!

I chalk a person like you up to being just ignorant with no patience!!!! Homeagain’s YEARLY fee is totally optional. Your info would still be available if your pet was found and scanned or better yet, with tag in toe, you’d probably get him home in minutes with no need to scan! I like the fact that I can go ONLINE to HOMEAGAIN.COM and report my pet missing with a photo and all, and unlike AVID, you can actually have posters sent out to people, vet clinics, shelters and rescues within 25 miles! If you think you can get that done in ONE HOUR, then good luck! Or just stick with AVID, who actually charges you just to update your phone number!! Nice huh?? 16.99 a year to ENSURE that my microchip company will do EVERYTHING possible to help when my pet goes missing……Yeah I’ll stick with Homeagain, but hey let me know how Avid works for ya!!!
