HomeAgain (15 Digit) TempScan Microchip with Injector

The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice. Pet microchips contain a radio transmitter, an antenna, and a computer chip that is read by a scanner, allowing animal control, vets, or shelters to obtain owners' information in the event a pet gets lost. Each microchip also automatically reads your pet's temperature when scanned.

Important Note:

Once your pet has been microchipped, you can enroll via the website (www.homeagain.com/pet-enrollment) or by calling 1-888-466-3242

The HomeAgain® microchip will not help your pet if it is not registered.*

How does it work?

Pet microchips use radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology, which uses radio waves to communicate a specific piece of information like the microchip's ID number to a specific type of receiver (like a microchip scanner). 

If your pet gets lost and is taken to a veterinary clinic or animal shelter, they will scan for a microchip to find the unique ID number. Veterinary or shelter staff use the ID number to determine the service to which the microchip is registered. If it's a HomeAgain-registered microchip, they will contact HomeAgain's Lost Pet Specialists, who will get in touch with you. Your contact information only displays to HomeAgain staff.

HomeAgain microchips also have anti-migration technology to help keep microchips in place, easy-to find, and normally lasts the lifetime of your pet.
