HR2744 requires that all pets be microchipped and requires a very particular frequency for the microchip. That frequency is 134.2 kHz. However in the USA, we DO NOT use that frequency. We use the industry standard of 125 kHz. So if this bill passes, not only would every rescue, shelter, vet and disaster group have to start over, but the system as we know it would fall apart. These foreign frequency chips cannot be detected or read by 99% of the scanners in operation in the
US. It is quite simply not what we use here.

The Bill is being supported by the HSUS and Banfield, the Pet Hospital who want to introduce for financial gain a foreign frequency microchip in the United States.
