Microchips
We now carry the Home Again brand microchip. Please consider having your pet microchipped. Even the most careful pet people (me!!) have lost their beloved pets. ID tags and collars are not 100% reliable, although they are an important fist line of defense for finding a lost pet. Microchips give assurance that if a pet is picked up and ends up at a vet hospital, shelter, rescue, or pound, it will be readily identified and returned. In the case of a tragic accident, pets are identified and the family can be notfied. Microchips are safe and proven to reunite pets with their people. Please remember to have them checked during routine appointments to be sure they are functioning and easy to find in your pet.
