| Microchip Implantation Many animals escape or get lost. Microchipping is a permanent I.D. so your pet can be returned to you. Microchipping is the implanting of a permanent identification chip under your pets skin. Each microchip is assigned a bar code. Your information, such as name and address is kept in national database assigned to that code. If your pet is lost or stolen it can be scanned and returned to you. Microchipping is available to our clients using Schering's Home Again Companion Animal System. The microchips can be administered to puppies and kittens at least six months of age, and to dogs and cats. This procedure can usually be done during an office call. If your pet is small the doctor may recommend sedation because of some discomfort. If the pet is undergoing another procedure such as a dental cleaning or surgery, we recommend micro chipping at that time since the animal will already be under anesthesia. Before implantation, you will be provided forms to fill out that we will send in to the Home Again National Recovery Service. The enrollment fee for this service is included in the cost of the microchip. The Home Again Recovery Service will send a confirmation to you once the company has received your information. If you have any questions or if confirmation is not received within two weeks, please call 1-866-738-4324. Once enrolled, the service is accessible 24 hours a day. The service
features: a proactive pet recovery network lost pet alerts to local vets,
shelters and pet rescuers, personalized "Lost Pet" posters, laminated Pet
ID card and other services. | ||||||||||||||||||||
