Microchips are a Must

Microchips are an absolutely must-have item for any family dog. They are a simple, affordable way to give yourself some piece of mind that your baby will be taken care of if they should get separated from you, and be able to find their way home.

My favorite microchip company is Home Again. They are one of the pricier versions out there, but for $15 a year, they are worth it. Many microchip companies charge each time you need to update information (new address, new phone number (home or cell), new vet information, etc etc etc). Home Again has an easy to use website and you are free to update your information at any time as many times as you like.

Home Again also provides ID cards for free each year (one for your wallet and one for your keychain) that have your information on it, as well as vet info, and your dog's personal information along with a picture of your darling.

Home Again is the most widely used brand, and also the most publicized, which gives you the best chances of having your baby found should they meander away from home.

We've used Home Again for 2 1/2 years now and have had no issues. They even accepted our Saint Bernard's Avid brand chip, so even if your baby already has a chip from another brand, you can still register your chip with Home Again. Simply ask your vet to scan your dog's chip
