Don't leave home without it...

     All of us value our pets, and the possibility of having a pet lost, displaced, or stolen is a situation we hope we never have to handle.  But we can't follow our pets around 24/7 (I'm not sure we really want to know all of the things they are getting into, anyway), and we certainly can't control every facet of their lives.  One of the ways we can try to protect our pets is by having a HomeAgain microchip implanted.  This microchip is approximately the size of a grain of rice.  The microchip is implanted under the skin in the area between the shoulder blades using a large gauge needle.  Pet owners should be careful not to manipulate the injection site for 24 hours to allow the microchip to firmly be seated in the underlying tissue.  Each microchip has a unique identification code linked to it.  Pet owners register their pet with HomeAgain's national pet registry, and the microchip can be scanned by any pet organization, animal control agency, or veterinarian.  Should your pet ever be displaced from you, this unique identification code could be read and you could be contacted to be reunited with your pet.  HomeAgain will aid you in creating lost pet posters, and will send out real time lost pet alerts in your area.  Some people may be hesitant to consider microchips for their pets if they are indoors or rarely unsupervised, but all it takes is a single incident and without a microchip, the chances of recovering your lost pet significantly diminish.  Contact our office for further information regarding pricing, or to set up an appointment to have your pet microchipped.
