Why Microchipping Matters

Each year, thousands of pets go missing—and many don’t find their way home because they lack permanent identification. A microchip gives your pet a voice when they can’t speak for themselves. It’s a tiny, rice-sized implant placed just beneath the skin between the shoulder blades. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and similar in sensation to a routine vaccination.

The HomeAgain® Advantage

We exclusively use the HomeAgain® microchip, which is universally recognized by veterinary offices and animal shelters across the country. Once registered, your pet’s unique microchip ID links to a secure online profile that includes your contact information, medical details, and any relevant notes.

With HomeAgain®, you gain:

24/7 lost pet recovery support
Nationwide scanner compatibility
Lost pet alerts sent to local HomeAgain® users
Online database access to update your pet’s profile at any time

Whether your pet is an indoor cat or a curious pup who enjoys exploring the backyard, a microchip offers peace of mind by increasing the chances of a safe reunion if they ever go missing.

When to Microchip

We typically recommend microchipping at the time of your pet’s spay or neuter procedure, as your pet will already be under anesthesia. However, microchipping can be done at any age and during a routine appointment—no surgery required.
