Dog and cat micro-chipping is a simple painless procedure to permanently identify your pet. Your veterinarian simply injects a microchip for pets, about the size of a grain of rice, beneath the surface of your pet's skin between the shoulder blades. The process is similar to a routine vaccination and only takes a few seconds. No anesthetic is required and your pet will not react any more than it would to a vaccination.
A Home Again micro-chip is permanent pet Identification. The micro-chip itself has no internal energy source, so it will last the life of your pet. The micro-chip 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 microchips unique ID code so your pet is positively identified.
