Microchip Identification
Wondering whether to microchip your pet?
One family recently had their dog, Chloe, in for a routine dental at Cleveland Road Animal Hospital. They decided that, even though Chloe was 9 years old, it may be beneficial, at some point, to have her microchipped...just in case. They were definitely correct! As it turns out, Miss Chloe decided to make a run for it recently when her owners were out of town. When she was finally apprehended, the neighbor who had found Chloe saw that she had a microchip tag on her collar. The neighbor called HomeAgain and gave the microchip ID to the operator who, in turn, contacted Chloe's owners. The HomeAgain company keeps all phone numbers and addresses on file in case of emergency, so even if you're out of town, you will always be within reach. In the event the collar falls off or is missing, the actual microchip placed under your pets skin can be read by a scanner that virtually every vet, animal control officer, and humane society in the country uses to identify stray animals. You can update your information online, so it's extra-easy to change phone numbers, addresses and the like!
