Ensuring Your Pet Comes Homes Safely
Having a missing pet is a stressful time for any family. Microchipping your feline family member with a Home Again microchip is a safe and easy way to ensure that your pet is returned safely home once they are found.
How Microchipping Works
Easily incorporated during any veterinary service including vaccinations, surgical procedures, or wellness exams, one of our trained veterinary staff simply inserts the microchip, the size of a grain of rice, under your pet's skin between their shoulder blades. Once inserted, the microchip will last the life of your pet and can be read by most veterinary hospitals and animal shelters around the country if your pet should become lost.
Identifying a Lost Pet
Should your pet become lost, he or she can simply be brought into any participating animal shelter, clinic, or hospital. Once there, staff will pass a scanner across the body to determine if a microchip is in place. If found, a unique code will appear via the scanner, prompting the employee to contact the pet recovery database. Homeagain.com will use this personalized number to contact you through the contact information you provide during the registration process.
