You may think that your pet is protected from getting lost, but accidents happen. In fact, one in three pets will get lost in their lifetime, and only 17% of dogs and 2% of lost cats will find their way back to their owners. To help give your pet the best chance of being identified should he ever become lost, have him implanted with the HomeAgain Microchip. Unlike collars, a HomeAgain Microchip is a permanent method of identification. When a lost pet is found, any animal hospital, shelter, or humane society will use a handheld microchip scanner to read your pet's unique microchip ID number. The veterinarian or shelter then contacts the HomeAgain database. The database matched the ID number to your name and phone number, and contacts you to reunite you with your lost pet. The HomeAgain Microchip is the size of a grain of rice. It is implanted in the skin between the shoulder blades of your dog or cat. The process takes only a few seconds and is virtually painless. The Microchip has an anti-migration features that ensures that it stays in place. Your pet can be microchipped at any point during its life. We frequently perform the procedure while your pet is under anesthesia for a Spay or Neuter. Once your pet is Microchipped, we send in your information to HomeAgain to get you enrolled. The cost to have your pet microchipped is $91.99. This price includes the cost of the HomeAgain Microchip, having a veterinarian implant it in your pet, your enrollment fee with HomeAgain, and your first year's annual dues with HomeAgain. |
