All animals are also MICROCHIPPED *.

 

 

Microchipping your dog replaces the need for obtaining the conventional dog license in Kenton County.

 

Kenton County uses the latest in Microchip Technology called 'Home Again'.

 

Home Again has several advantages over previous identification systems such as tags or tattoos.

Permanent, lifelong identification is provided by a tiny microchip - approximately the size of a grain of rice - programmed with a unique unalterable code that can be identified with a hand-held scanner.

 

One problem with previous systems was movement of the microchips from the implant site, sometimes making localization and scanning of the microchip practically impossible. The Home Again system has a patented "anti-migration" cap, which assures the implant will "stay put", making it easy for a veterinary clinic or animal shelter to scan the chip for its unique, unalterable identification number.
