Ever wonder how pet microchipping really works? Many people think the microchip acts as a GPS tracker, however, this is not the case. Microchips simply help identify pet owner information when scanned with a special device. Even so, microchipping is a very useful tool to ensure your dog or cat always makes it back to the right place. Take a look at this VCA article to learn everything about microchipping: https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/microchipping-your-dog

A HomeAgain microchip is your pet's permanent ID. A pet microchip -- the size of a grain of rice -- goes beneath your pet's skin. Unlike a collar, this permanent ID can't fall off or become impossible to read. HomeAgain uses this ID to contact you and reunite you with your pet.
