Pet Microchipping & Lost Pets

Dog and cat microchipping is a simple procedure. The veterinarian simply injects a microchip for pets, about the size of a grain of rice (12mm), beneath the surface of your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. The process is similar to a routine shot, takes only a few seconds, and your pet will not react any more than they would to a vaccination. No anesthetic is required.

HomeAgain Microchip

A HomeAgain microchip is a permanent pet ID. The microchip itself has no internal energy source, and it will last the life of your pet. It is read by passing a microchip scanner over the pet’s shoulder blades. The scanner emits a low radio frequency that provides the power necessary to transmit the microchip’s unique cat or dog ID code and positively identify the pet.

HomeAgain is the only dog and cat microchipping product on the market today with patented Bio-Bond anti-migration protection to help ensure that the microchip will stay in place so that it may be easily located and scanned. If your pet gets lost and is taken to an animal shelter or veterinarian, they will scan the microchip to read its unique dog or cat ID code. This is the number used by HomeAgain to identify the pet and retrieve your contact information, which is used to contact you and reunite you with your pet.
