Virbac Launches New BackHome ^® Eco-Pack

Virbac is proud to announce the launch of its new innovative, eco-friendly implanters for
BackHome^®, the UK’s market-leading pet microchip brand*. Designed to support veterinary
professionals in their daily operations and environmental goals, BackHome^® Eco-packs represent a
sustainable, high-efficiency evolution in pet microchipping.

A Commitment to Sustainability and Innovation, the exclusive new Virbac-designed BackHome^®
Eco-packs feature one reusable multi-injector per pack of 10 sterile microchips, eliminating the need
for single-use plastic injectors. This transition results in a reduction in plastic waste by 9 times and
creates a more compact pack size, supporting both environmentally conscious practices and
improved storage efficiency for dispensaries.

We are proud that veterinary professionals can continue to rely on BackHome^® for trusted pet
identification while our new Eco-packs contribute to storage efficiencies and to a greener future,”
says Vicky Le Fanu, Virbac Product Manager. Furthermore, our partnership with the PETtrac
database ensures that the technical reliability of our chips is matched by excellent service, helping
pets find their way home safely and efficiently.”

Providing Continued Reliability alongside improved sustainability, the microchips maintain the same
highest technical standards as before. Manufactured from medical-grade bio-glass, each chip is
parylene-coated to prevent migration and fully compliant with ISO standards 11784 and 11785 FDX-
