On , we're sharing a few important reminders on the importance of microchips - such as:

➡ 1 in 3 family pets will get lost
➡ Microchipped dogs are more than twice as likely to be returned to their owners and microchipped cats are more than 20 times as likely to be returned to their owners

And remember - while microchips greatly increase the chances that pets will be reunited with their families if they are lost or stolen…a microchip only works if its registration information is accurate.

Warmer weather means more time outdoors and a higher risk of encountering ticks. Your dog’s fur is a paradise for these parasites, which may carry dangerous diseases that can also infect humans.

Your veterinarian can recommend a preventative product to use year-round as a first line of defense against tick-borne diseases, but it’s still important to check your dog—and yourself—for ticks. If your dog has a tick, you may feel a bump that's as small as a pinhead or as large as a pea, depending on how long it has been feeding on your dog.

😱 How do you remove a fishhook swallowed by a dog? That’s the question AMC doctors faced when this poor pup was rushed to our ER.

🎣 The hook was embedded in the dog's esophagus, and in order to remove the hook without causing further damage, they used an endoscope to pull the fishing line taut, then an “overtube” to dislodge the hook and protect the surrounding tissue during removal.

🐶 This skillful procedure was a success! The hook was safely pulled out through the mouth, and the pup has fully recovered.

👏 Let's give a hand to the talented individuals on our Internal Medicine team that performed this delicate and life-saving procedure.
