AKC Animal Recovery We recently enrolled a dog in the American Kennel Club Companion Animal Recovery Program. It cost us $50 (for the chip implant) plus $12 (enrollment form). We hope the chip implant will help bring her back to us if she ever gets lost. In addition, she will always wear a tagged collar when outdoors and during the day, and she will always be leashed, unless she's contained in a fenced area...  well worth all the annoyances...

AKCAR: "We are dedicated to providing lifetime recovery services for microchipped and tattooed pets. As of April 30, 2003, as many as 1,762,206 companion animals are enrolled in the database and 135,356 lost pets have been successfully reunited with their owners."
