Are AVID microchips and scanners “Universal”?
A. AVID is the most cross compatible microchip system in the United States. You decide if you want to be able to read more than one brand of chip, or if you just need to read your own AVID chips (and not all others). You can purchase the MiniTracker that reads ONLY the AVID SecureChip. Or you can purchase the MiniTracker Multi, which reads both of our chips and several other brands of chips as well. On the chip side, you can purchase AVID Secure chips that can be read only by an AVID scanner, and by shelter scanners. Or you can purchase our EURO chip, which can be read by our Multi Scanner and by many other types of scanners as well. The price of the chips is the same.
