Pet Microchipping in Raleigh

Make Sure Your Pet Finds Their Way Home

Did you know that every year, millions of pets wander away from home or otherwise get lost? Many of these pets find their way to local shelters and rescue organizations, but without microchipping, the chance of you finding your pet is significantly reduced. Implanting your pet with a microchip and maintaining an up-to-date microchip profile is the single best way to guarantee the safe return of any runaway or escaped pet.

Leesville Animal Hospital utilizes the Home Again microchipping system. This system helps to make sure that your missing pet can be found by any individual or organization with a microchip reader. With a microchip, your pet will be back in your loving arms before you know it!

What Is the Home Again Microchip?

The Home Again microchip is a small chip that is about the size of a grain of rice. This chip carries a unique identifying number that is registered to your pet at the time of implantation. Your personal information is then attached to that microchip number to ensure that should your pet go missing and their microchip is scanned, you will be contacted right away.

Does Microchip Implantation Hurt?

As mentioned above, the Home Again microchip is about the same size as a grain of rice. This tiny chip is implanted between your pet's shoulder blades in a quick and painless procedure that resembles a vaccination injection.
