Your new puppy or kitten is your pride and joy - so is your longtime companion animal. Would you know where to find them should they get lost? Would they know how to find you?
Ensure that you can always reconnect with your pet with Microchipping - a microchip identification system.
Mulnix Animal Clinic currently recommends and installs the HomeAgain microchip.
What is Microchipping?
Microchipping is permanent pet identification. The HomeAgain® Microchip Identification System is a safe, simple, and permanent form of pet identification designed to quickly identify lost pets and reunite them with their owners. Over 10 million pets become lost each year. One out of every three pets is lost during its lifetime, and only one in ten lost pets are found. The HomeAgain® Microchip Identification System is a proven way to successfully recover your pet if it should become lost.
Is Microchipping Safe?
Microchipping is safe, simple, and effective technology. No bigger than a grain of rice, the HomeAgain microchip is a small, sterile transponder that contains a unique ID code capable of being read by a compatible scanner. The microchip's biocompatible material is extremely safe for the animal. The HomeAgain microchip is a passive device. It requires no battery and remains inactive until it is scanned.
New Pet? Old Friend?
Pet owners agree, the major benefit of HomeAgain is peace of mind. Anesthesia is not necessary for implantation. Consider having your pet microchipped during a scheduled procedure or check up. Microchipping your pet with HomeAgain takes just seconds, is relatively painless, and is recommended for dogs and cats of all breeds and ages. It is safe for puppies and kittens, as well as older pets who may wander away from home.
How Do Recoveries Happen?
24/7 Database Access. When you enroll your microchpped pet in the AKC Companion Animal Recovery's nationwide recovery database, your contact information is safely stored until it is needed to reunite you with your pet. A professional recovery team maintains the database 24 hour a day, 7 days a week and notifies you as soon as your pet's ID number is called in to the 24-hour recovery hotline. Animal clinics and shelters scan lost animals and call the AKC Companion Animal Recovery unit to report a found pet. Currently, with the HomeAgain Microchip Identification System, a successful recovery occurs approximately every 15 minutes.
