Hi all it's Ruckus's mom here. It's been forever so some of you may not know us. Ruckus is doing well. He's in for his neuter as we speak. (finally). We are taking care of or giving a home to a beautiful little girl that was picked up as a stray. Has a beautiful bully face but definitly mixed with something. The people who found her had her scanned. Yup, she's chipped but not registered. For the heck of it we had Ruckus scanned. Same thing came up, not registered. I immediately called the company. This is what I was told. "We do not distribute any info on our registered pets but Ruckus is in our database. Whoever scanned him should have called us and we would have released his info" I just wanted to share this with all of you because I though once a dog was registered that info came up on the scanner. I didn't realize with this company, it's the scanners responsibility to call the company especially if its coming up not registered. We're taking "Lola" to our vet this afternoon to have her rescanned so I can get the actual chip number and hopefully find her family.

Thanks! I will also be reregistering Ruckus. The company should at least be able to put "registered, please call" or something in their system. Makes me wonder how many dogs out there could be reunited with their owners.

No kidding! I also would have thought that when they get chipped, the vet has the info there if need be. Even if the chip never got registered.

Ruckus was adopted, so our vet didn't do the chip. I'm glad I had our vet scan him for the heck of it or I would have no idea.

what company is it if you don't mind me asking? I think two of my boys are with one company and one is with a different one. I'll have to check into that the next time I have them at the vet's

Thanks everyone. No luck finding Lola's owners, but I think she found her new fur ever home right here with us. The smile on her face says "thank you"! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1355719854.633493.jpg

Maybe the idea is that if the dog HAS a chip that's enough...and that the vet needs to call the company for additional information? Hardly seems fair to the Vet though...to do this kind of leg work when they're healers --- not detectives or office workers.... Next time I'm in to see Dr. Terry, I'm going to ask about that. Both my pups are chipped and I have their chip "tags" (with the number on it) in their vet files....but what good is that if "unregistered" comes up when I know for a FACT that I did whatever was necessary to have their complete dossiers on file with the chip company.....Ugh.
