HomeAgain, an all-inclusive pet recovery and protection service, is dedicated to the safety and well-being of your pet. To take advantage of this service, your pet first needs a tiny microchip containing a permanent and unique ID number. A veterinarian simply injects a tiny microchip about the size of a grain of rice (12mm) beneath the surface of your pet's skin between the shoulder blades. The process is similar to a routine shot, takes only a few seconds, and your pet will not react any more than he would to a vaccination. No anesthetic is required.

The microchip itself has no internal energy source, so it will last the life of your pet. It 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 microchipís unique code and positively identify the pet. HomeAgain is the only microchip on the market today that has the Bio-BondTM patented anti-migration feature to help ensure that the microchip will stay in place so that it may be easily located and scanned. If your pet gets lost and is taken to an animal shelter or veterinarian, they will scan the microchip to read its unique code. This is the number used by HomeAgain to identify the pet and retrieve your contact information, which is used to contact you and reunite you with your pet.
