Microchip
Pets frequently become lost and tracking them down can be difficult, and many times they lose their collars while on walk-about. Never fear, microchips are
available! These chips are small implants that you veterinarian implants under your pets skin to serve as an identification device.
There are a couple of different microchips on the market. Home Again is the microchip identification system that our practice offers. The microchip is
delivered by a subcutaneous injection at the dorsal midline between the animal's shoulder blades. The microchip is then scanned and recognized by a hand
held scanner which most Humane Societies use across the United States.
There is a unique number on each microchip that will help identify your pet. Then it is just a matter of filling out a one time registration form that corresponds
the microchip number with your pets information.

According to the Nebraska Humane Society (2003), there were 4008 pets found as strays from just April 1 to June 30, 2003. Of these, the return to their
owner rate for dogs was 78% on microchipped dogs and 56% on non-microchipped dogs. For the kitties, the microchipped ones had a return rate of 53%,
versus a return rate on the non-microchipped ones at only 3%!!
