Importance Of Microchipping
1 in 3 pets go missing each year. Without ID 90% of those lost pets don't come home.
Only the size of the lead in a pencil, but worth its weight in gold, the HomeAgain chip helps identify a lost pet with a quick surface scan and get them home again safe!
Summer's "open-door" and yard activities create many opportunities for your pet to run free and get lost. Get them Home Again quickly when they have these small but valuable chips implanted. There are over 50,000 microchip scanners in circulation in the country, providing many veterinarians and shelters the ability to get your pet's name and contact info as soon as possible.
Stream Valley utilizes this simple implant to locate a local family at least once a month throughout the summer, when a Good Samaritan finds and brings a lost pet to us that often has no collar or tag to help identify it.
