BackHome® proudly introduced South Africa’s first mini microchip.

After a decade of excellence in Pet Electronic Identification, Virbac introduced the first mini microchip into the South African market. Because it’s 33% smaller than traditional microchips, it has BIG benefits for you, and most importantly, your pets.

A lifetime of pet identification for an affordable once-off cost.

You only pay for the cost of implanting the microchip by a registered veterinarian. Their information is registered and maintained on the BackHome® data-base at no additional cost

Minimum stress, pain and discomfort to your patient.

Due to the size and design which has a silicone coating, the BackHome® mini microchip reduces pain during the implant.

Safer and more reliable.

Smaller than a grain of rice, the BackHome® mini microchip is encapsulated in parylene a “tissue friendly” material which reduces the possibility of migration of the chip. The transponder is completely passive and does not provoke any harm or allergies.

Online access for you, the pet owner.
