Become a member of the new HomeAgain service, and you'll gain automatic access to dozens of articles and tips designed to keep pets healthy and their owners informed. Read below for a sampling of tips from our database, recommended by the American Animal Hospital Association.

Spay or neuter your pet. Both male and female dogs and cats are mature enough to reproduce by the ages of six to nine months. Unaltered male dogs and cats that reach maturity are prone to wander in search of romance, and often find themselves exposed to dangerous traffic or fights with other animals. Help keep your pet safe and reduce the unwanted pet population by taking this simple step in responsible pet ownership.

Get regular vet checkups. Your veterinarian should conduct a regular, comprehensive exam that includes a lab analysis, heart check, and dental exam. Early detection of disease and updated vaccinations are key to keeping your pet safe and healthy, and preventing health problems from developing down the road.

Microchip your pet. Chipping your pet with HomeAgain is one of the best ways to help ensure his safety should he ever become lost. When you enroll in our comprehensive pet protection and safety resource, you'll also gain access to a library of information designed to keep you informed and your pet protected.
