USDA MicroChip Report Finally!
Hi to all,
The USDA has finally released their pet microchip report. We would like
to congratulate all breeders and those who worked so hard to stand up for their
freedom of choice.
There will be no mandatory microchipping forced on breeders.
There will be no ISO chip standard forced on USDA kennels.
The USDA acknowledged the 125 kHz infrastructure and made it clear that it
should be protected by pointing out the following:
1. 98% of microchipped pets in the U.S. have the 125 kHz type chips.
2. The existing infrastructure favors the 125 kHz frequency microchips.
3. Approximately 80% of the scanners in the US can read only the 125 kHz
chips.
This means that chips such as the AKC 128 kHz chip and the ISO 134 kHz
chip cannot be read by 80% of the scanners in use by veterinarians, breeders,
shelters and disaster teams.
The USDA has endorsed the use of microchips to identify American pets and
has advocated educating the public about microchip technology.

Congratulations on standing up for what you believed and for taking the
time to do the right thing for the animals you raise.
Please call us if you have any questions or need further information. And
please feel free to send this email to anyone we missed.
Thank you.
