Home Again Microchips

Did you know that over 10 million companion animals are lost every year? Without some kind of identification, 90% of them never find their way back home. Over 94% of companion animals that have some kind of microchip get reunited with their families. This statistic alone validates the need for every companion animal to be implanted with a microchip.

Atlantic Animal Hospital offers all of our clients the opportunity to keep their companion animals safe by offering the HomeAgain Microchip. This is one of the most commonly used brands in the United States and Europe. HomeAgain goes beyond a simple ownership record. Their annual membership includes access to the ASPCA Poison Control Center, updated medical information about your companion animal uploaded directly from our clinic, and an "Amber Alert" fax service that sends a case sheet to all animal hospitals in cooperation with HomeAgain in case your pet is reported to be lost.

The HomeAgain Microchip may be implanted at anytime during your companion animal's life. The sooner you implant the microchip the sooner you know that you have ensured the well-being of your companion animal. The process is of little discomfort to your companion animal. It is a simple, quick injection under the skin between the shoulder blades. No sedation is necessary in most cases; however, if your companion is already sedated for a dental or surgical procedure, a microchip can be easily implanted at that time.

"Microchipping saves lives and the Home Again Microchip is designed to increase even further the chance of reuniting you with your lost companion animal." Please visit www.HomeAgain.com for more information.
