We use "Home Again" microchip system which is recognized nationwide. The microchip is a tiny electronic device, about the size and shape of a grain of rice, that is aseptically implanted under your pets skin between the shoulder blades. This chip has an identification number which remains with your pet throughout its life. Your pet's information is registered nationally. Most animal shelters and veterinarians have electronic scanners to read these chips. This enables lost pets to be quickly reunited with their owners. This procedure is quick, no more painful than a vaccination, and assures that you will be able to prove your pet is yours if ever lost.
