I will be flying internationally with my dogs so the microchip must be internationally recognized. Does this microchip meet this requirement? Thanks!

NO!! Home Again is a 125kHz chip and if you travel with this chip YOU will have to bring your own scanner (bulky and expensive). EU countries are equipped to read 134 kHz chips. It will be easier to implant a 134 kHz chip also sold on Amazon. I travel internationally with a service dog and I finally opted to install BOTH chips to simplify travel. One in his shoulder, the other in his rump.

Please visit this site, it addresses this situation and it looks like Home Again is OK for international travel but visit the site. http://www.petrelocation.com/blog/pet-travel-advice/homeagain-microchips-iso-compatible-for-international-pet-air-travel Best wishes and thank you for wanting to protect your dog.

According to the manufacturer it is. I haven't been overseas with mine yet so I can't verify it personally.

So far I've bought some for my friends all over Central America and they work fine. As long you have a chip to put in it should work with no problem.

Definitely can read avid but not sure about the FDX-b microchips. Best to contact the company directly.

If your chip can be read by pickit2, it'll read it. It will do other programs also. I guess what I'm trying to say is, it depends on the software. In my opinion, this CanaKit is awesome.

Thank you, HSM for your great question! In fact, the FIPS-201 certification indicates they DO work for the presecribed frequencies (13.56 MHz and 860-980 MHz), the frequencies associated with RFID. These are the frequencies used in contactless payment cards, the ones you will get from your financial institution. Some ID badges use proximity scanning technologies that APPEAR to be RFID, but with frequencies the sleeves do not shield. As we indicate in many of our reviews from customers with the same question: "We know the sleeves provide great protection while cards are carried in them. You can test them yourself by leaving the cards IN the sleeves when making a payment, for example. The transaction should fail. Remove the card and try again. The transaction should go through. Easy! This would also work with your passports and passport cards as you approach a border crossing. Your passport will be undetectable until you remove it from the jacket. We understand your apprehension about Identity Theft while you are traveling. We appreciate the fact you took this measure to add another effective but very simple layer of protection to the personal data you will be carrying with you while away from home. We do, however, stress to all our customers the fact that ID Theft can occur anywhere; and in seconds! We strongly recommend carrying your cards in the sleeves on a daily basis." Many of our customers have performed these tests and were able to convince themselves the sleeves DO provide the protection we promise. Just one example:

Yes, it's a universal scanner so it should read any chip regardless of the maker.

I have one, but I tried to test it and there were problems getting into my account. I still have it on my dog along with an old-fashioned engraved one. My dog means too much to me to trust this product.

This tag works similarly to a microchip. The tag has to be scanned by the person finding the dog.

According to another website..."The Remington Plastic Dog Kennel meets both international (IATA) and domestic (USDA) air travel requirements."

Yes, I believe so. We have used it with a variety of sim cards in several different countries. All worked without a problem.

Not by default, but it has a number of features for selecting different international zones, each of which has different allowed transmission frequencies. There's also something in the back you can unsolder to disable blocking transmission frequencies, but honestly those features are useful and there to prevent accidental transmission and *I* would leave them functioning exactly as is. You don't want to prank-call a taxi cab and accidentally get animal control.

Should work fine. Be aware that you will need to trim the sim to make it a micro sim . It has outline but you will need to trim with sharp scissors (as far as can tell from looking at the SIM we have.

Yes, any standard IC chips work. Mine were implanted by a British vet in Afghanistan and they worked perfectly, and that's probably the extreme! Cats did not like being held next to the flap while it registered their chips (unsurprisingly) but it only took a moment.

Yes it is IATA Compliant. I flew with my dog from Honolulu to Dulles. Then she flew from Dulles to Johannesburg. We had NO problems :)

I'm not sure. I've since had my dog microchipped when she was spayed so i no longer use this tag. I'm sorry I couldn't answer your question.

I live in Uruguay, anda it´s working perfectly... I also used it with a brazilian chip and it worked as well.
