Q. Is the Microchip Registered to Bijou Poodles or to Me ?
A. Bijou
Standard Poodle's purchases FDXB ISO chips which are not registered in anyone's name.
It is up to the Puppy's owner if they wish to register their microchip with a Recovery Association or not.
Bijou Poodle's include a microchip bar code sticker and microchip number in the Puppy Package as well as
including your Puppy's microchip number on your Pup's registration papers for proof of Ownership.

microchip is a very small capsule about the size of a grain of rice that
contains a computer chip which stores an alphanumeric code that is unique and
specific to the animal which receives the implant.
This unique number appears on your registration papers and can be used
to identify your pet should any dispute arise as to ownership.

Q. How is a Microchip Placed Within
My Pet?
A. The microchip is injected under the skin between
the shoulder blades and into the connective tissue of your pet with an
instrument much like a hypodermic needle. It is no different than having your
pet vaccinated, the process is quick, simple and
causes minimal discomfort to your pet.
Should you Register your Microchip
How the Recovery of a lost pet should work:Ideally when a lost animal appears in a shelter, humane society, or veterinary clinic, it will be scanned for a microchip.
If one is detected, a specific alpha-numeric code will be displayed.
With that code number in hand, a call will be made to a recovery database using a 800 toll free number.
That code number can be traced to the pet owner listed in the database files, 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
However, detection of the microchip is contingent upon the skill level of the person scanning, the chip used, the scanner being used
and which recovery association of the MANY ... that will be contacted.
Not all microchip companies use the same database.
American Veterinary Identification Devices (AVID) uses PETtrac.
HomeAgain now operates its own database system.
