Microchips are a safe, effective permanent ID. Here’s why —

September 18, 2014 by Little Creek Veterinary Clinic

Q: Is there a vaccine that will prevent my pet from getting lost?

A: Not exactly. But there is a simple injection that will help return your pet if it gets lost.

HomeAgain microchips:

Are safe – the chip is designed to be compatible with your pet’s body for a lifetime. Plus, all chips arrive in sterile applicators to protect your pet from infection.
Do not hurt your pet – they cause no more discomfort than a vaccination.
Do not require surgery – your pet can receive a chip during a regular visit to the vet; no anesthesia needed.
Do not slip out of place – HomeAgain chips use a patented Bio-Bond anti-migration feature to make sure the chip stays in the original injection site.
Last for the lifetime of your pet – there are no moving parts or batteries that wear out; just a unique code that can be read by a scanner.
Do not compromise your privacy – all HomeAgain chips carry a unique 15-character number/letter sequence; they do not contain your private information.

Are you ready to ‘chip your dog or cat? Contact us to schedule your pet’s microchipping appointment today.

Dear Military Families,

There is some confusion on the web, leading members of the military to believe we are located on base.

While we are available to care for your pets, please be advised that we are not a military facility, nor affiliated with Little Creek Amphibious Base.

In the event of overseas transfers/PCS, we refer those cases back to the military due to the complexity of foreign-import rules.
