There are 2 frequencies as well.

The two companies which dominate the U.S. market -- AVID and HomeAgain -- both sell microchips which are optimized to operate at a frequency of 125 kHz...

But in Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia, most microchips for animals adopt a standard (11784/11785) set by the International Organization for Standardization, or ISO, specifying that chips operate at 134.2 kHz.

Banfield will put in both chips when you go them for chipping.

Our shelter charges $28 for the 125 kHz.
