'Home Again' Micro-Chipping
It wasn't meant to happen, but somehow your puppy got loose and is too young to find its way home. Or your older dog wanders off, his or her aging senses insufficient to backtrack the trail and return. Or your cat fails to race through its cat door at the usual hour.
After unsuccessfully racing around the neighborhood searching for your pet, you reluctantly phone the local animal shelter, hoping that your cat or dog has been recovered before it is considered a 'stray' and faces the potential of being 'put down'.
Dr. Merrill can help prevent these types of scenarios by implanting a HomeAgain micro-chip under the animal's skin: The procedure is as painless as a vaccination and quickly identifies your pet as 'owned'. The chip contains pertinent information that can be read by a special scanner, reuniting the two of you before a mistaken euthanasia has occurred.
