We offer the Home Again Microchip. Micro chipping is as quick and painless as when we administer your pet its regular vaccinations. More than 10 million pets get lost each year. One third of all pets, including "indoor-only" cats and dogs, will become lost during their lifetime. Unfortunately 90% won't return home without effective identification. The City of San Antonio approved an ordinance amendment (effective 4/30/2015) making a registered microchip the primary means of licensing for pets living within the San Antonio city limits. All dogs, cats, ferrets residing in San Antonio city limits must have a registered microchip and the microchip must be properly registered with the microchip company with the current ownership information. Would you like to ensure your pet has a safe return home if he/she ever gets lost?

For Microchip purposes, please select one of the following:*

I hereby authorize the veterinarian perform the procedure listed above-for the described pet. I assume responsibility for all charges incurred in the care of this animal. I also understand that all charges must be paid at the time services are rendered and that a deposit may be required for surgical treatment or hospitalization.
