Microchipping
Akaal Pet Hospital offers the Home Again and Avid Microchip Pet Recovery System. A simple injection is all it takes to implant the microchip. Many pets get lost and are never returned to their owners because they have no identification. Collars fall off, tags fall off. Don't let your pet become a statistic. Microchip and relax knowing your pet could be identified and returned home if he/she ever gets lost.
We scan all strays for a microchip in an attempt to reunite them with their owners.
Don't forget to change your address for the microchip identification if you move! http://www.homeagain.com/1_0.html
Please ask us about implanting a chip in your pet today!
The process is the same as receiving a shot, and your pet will be added to a national database for recovery, in the event they become lost.

The HomeAgain Microchip
The HomeAgain service starts with the microchip itself. Our microchip is centered on the use of a passive electronic device that emits a radio frequency only when activated by the scanner.
Unique
Each HomeAgain microchip is designed with the express purpose of storing and transmitting a unique alphanumeric code. This code represents your pet’s essential identification – it is the number used by HomeAgain to determine your address and phone number, enabling your pet to return home. In addition, HomeAgain is the only microchip on the market today that has an anti-migration feature to ensure that the chip stays in place.
Size
The size of the HomeAgain microchip is one of its most significant features. About the size of a grain of rice (approximately 12mm), the microchip is so small it cannot be seen once it has been implanted. Thanks to this small size, the actual implantation of the microchip is quite easy. Your veterinarian simply injects it beneath the surface of the skin between the shoulder blades, like a routine shot. The process takes only a few seconds, is virtually painless, and requires no special treatment or anesthetic.
For life
Finally, and most importantly, the HomeAgain microchip has no batteries or internal energy source so it will last the life of your pet. After implantation, the microchip remains inactive until it is read with a scanner – the low radio frequency emitted by the scanner provides the microchip with the power necessary to transmit its unique code and positively identify the animal. Thus, the microchip itself has no internal power and will be able to transmit the ID code for the life of the animal.
