Vaccines

Why should I vaccinate my Dog or Cat? Some factors to think about:

  • Risk of disease (anticipated exposure, environmental factors, geographic factors, age, breed, use,)
  • Consequences of the disease (morbidity/mortality, zoonotic potential)
  • Cost of immunization (time, labor and vaccine costs) vs. potential cost of disease (time out of competition; impact of movement restrictions imposed in order to control an outbreak of contagious disease; labor and medication if, or when, your pet develop clinical disease and require treatment, or loss of life.)

Laser Therapy

  • The Class IV laser delivers a large amount of light energy into the animal’s body. When it interacts with damaged cells, healing is accelerated and pain virtually eliminated.
  • This advanced technology offers drug-free, surgery-free, pain-free relief
  • A great adjunctive therapy for arthritis.

Microchipping

  • Dog and cat microchipping is a simple procedure.
  • A veterinarian simply injects a microchip for pets, about the size of a grain of rice (12mm), beneath the surface of your pets skin between the shoulder blades.
  • The process is similar to a routine shot, takes only a few seconds, and your pet will not react any more than he would to a vaccination.
  • No anesthetic is required.
  • A HomeAgain microchip is permanent pet ID.
  • The microchip itself has no internal energy source, so it will last the life of your pet.
  • It is read by passing a microchip scanner over the pets shoulder blades.
  • The scanner emits a low radio frequency that provides the power necessary to transmit the microchips unique cat or dog ID code and positively identify the pet.
  • HomeAgain is the only dog & cat microchipping product on the market today that has the Bio-Bond patented anti-migration feature to help ensure that the microchip will stay in place so that it may be easily located and scanned.
  • If your pet gets lost and is taken to an animal shelter or veterinarian, they will scan the microchip to read its unique dog or cat ID code.
  • This is the number used by HomeAgain to identify the pet and retrieve your contact information, which is used to contact you and reunite you with your pet.Courtesy of www.homeagain.com
