Microchipping Your Pet
The HomeAgain© anti-migration microchip is about the size of piece of rice that is implanted via injection under the skin in the shoulder area. Sedation is not required. Once implanted and activated with HomeAgain, your pet is connected to a comprehensive pet recovery service.
The pet recovery program is a proactive method of reuniting you with your pet. A single phone call to HomeAgain© alerts all animal shelters and veterinary practices in your area. A volunteer network of PetRescuers are also notified. A local shelter contact list is provided to you to begin the search for your pet. The sad fact is that without identification, 90% of lost pets won't return home. Even if your pet has lost his tags, your pet's microchip with its unique ID identifies him, increasing your odds of being reunited.
The HomeAgain© microchip features additional services of special
interest to pet owners. Complimentary lost pet insurance is included
with your annual membership fee. If you are traveling with your pet,
the HomeAgain© 24/7 Emergency Medical Care hotline can provide
immediate advice if an emergency arises. They can also connect you
with a veterinarian for management of your case.
The microchip can be implanted during a regular office visit. You will also receive a unique ID tag for your pet's collar at that time. In order to take advantage of the benefits of having your pet microchipped, visit the HomeAgain© website to register your pet.
