Microchipping

At this time, we can only provide microchipping for animals that are adopted from KCAS.

Microchipping

Microchipping your pet covers the following:

• One year of Home Again additional services. After the first year, a membership fee is required for these services.
• Your pet gets entered to the Home Again national database and remains in database throughout the life of your pet.

Home Again

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.
