Microchip Technology

Avoid the heartbreak of losing your pet. Westlake Village Animal Hospital provides Home Again Microchip technology, an inexpensive procedure which can be done any time in our office. With Home Again Microchip, your pet can't leave home without his identification. Your pet’s microchip is injected under the skin with a hypodermic needle similar to a vaccination. If your lost pet is found by a participating shelter, they'll check him for a microchip with a special scanner and contact your information on file.

About Home Again

HomeAgain microchips are designed to last your pet’s entire lifetime, and once enrolled, they link to a permanent record of the owner information. Your microchip comes with a personal listing in the HomeAgain lost pet database, and this translates to anytime/anywhere pet recovery services. Your pet’s microchip ID code, just like your pet, is one of a kind. When your lost pet is taken to a shelter or clinic, they will scan your pet for a microchip and will read its unique code. This code is stored with your pet’s profile and linked to your contact information in our pet database—forever.
