AMACA is composed of professional animal care givers from across America. These groups and veterinarians deal with a variety of species and the everyday challenges and benefits of animal identification.  All AMACA members have one thing in common: They use microchip identification as part of a communal effort to do the right thing for animals and their owners.
AMACA members are the infrastructure of the current practice of microchipping pets and horses in this country. Therefore, AMACA serves as an Advisory Council, based on consensus of member opinions, for decisions and issues regarding microchip usage in animals in the United States. 
 This site serves as an Information Exchange. AMACA was established by and for the industry and the people who best represent the everyday needs of those who rely upon successful permanent identification for animals. It is the intent of AMACA to communicate to microchip manufacturers the needs and suggestions of the Council, based on what it deems necessary for the continued successful growth of a working network in America. It is the intent of AMACA to be "The Voice of Microchip Users" on legislative issues that affect the goals of its user groups. This site serves as the electronic communication source for ideas, plans, development of mutual goals and solutions to common problems.
Mission Statement AMACA will provide support for field users of microchips and will be the gatekeeper against any agenda driven efforts that might damage the good work of its members or jeopardize the successful reunion of animals and owners separated by natural disaster, theft, loss or emergency. With an overview of 'Do No Harm', AMACA will provide guidance, policies and monitoring on the selection, implementation and use of companion animal RFID technologies and database services, based on scientific merit that best serves the interests of American pets and their owners.
