We've received information about a brand of microchips called "Save This Life".

THIS IS NOT THE BRAND OF MICROCHIPS WE USE. IF WE MICROCHIPPED YOUR PET THIS DOES NOT APPLY.

It appears that Save This Life has been shut down and all of the microchips registered with them have had their data deleted. This means that the data associated with the microchip is inaccessible. The microchip itself will still work and still have a number, the number will need to be re-registered with another company (likely with a fee). If you have any questions, or would like to check your pets chip please don't hesitate to let us know. If you know your pets microchip number you can if/where it's registered at https://old.petmicrochiplookup.org/

The trouble puppies will get into. Dolly came to us yesterday with concerns of a stick stuck in her throat. Her humans were very close. It was a pencil. She was sedated and the pencil was removed. Let's wish Dolly luck and hope she makes better choices in chew toys in the future.

We require any animal our doctors deem healthy enough to receive the vaccine get vaccinated for rabies.
Most cities have laws on the book that require any animals residing within their borders be vaccinated for rabies. We also have this policy for the safety of our staff and community.

We do our best to promote and practice low stress handling. Sometimes that's as simple as providing treats through the appointment. Other times it requires a personalized plan specifically for your pet.

VCPR stands for Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship. A VCPR is established when a veterinarian examines an animal in person. It is required by law to prescribe medications including some flea and tick prevention and most heartworm prevention. This is why we recommend anyone who may be planning a switch in veterinary clinics to schedule an appointment as soon as you know. Even if your pet isn't due for vaccines it's important to have this relationship in order to have access to medical advice, after hours advice, medications, and parasite prevention.

November 29th is National Day of Listening. After a chaotic holiday there's nothing better than the calming sound of a cat purring. There have even been studies that suggest a cats purr is physically beneficial to themselves, as well as their humans. It can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and potentionally even aid in healing due to the low frequency vibrations. So, listen to your cat, it's as good for you as it is for them.

Happy first day of Fall. What do you do with your pets for some fall fun?

And of course we have some outtakes.

Did you know that seedless watermelon is safe for dogs? In moderation and without the rind, watermelon is a great summer snack for the whole family.

Puppy play time

The answer to yesterdays What's That Wednesday is.................... a microchip A microchip is a form of permanent identification. The microchip is a rice grain sized piece of technology that is implanted beneath the skin (usually between the shoulder blades) with a needle. The microchip carries a number, that when scanned can be connected to an owners name, phone number, and any other important information. The microchip on its own doesn't do any good. You must make sure it's registered to you. If you adopted a pet or rehomed it from someone else you can call the compay the microchip is registered to and update the information. The other important thing to make note of with microchips is that they can migrate to other areas. I've seen them move further down the back or into the shoulder. That's why you see Taylor scanning the whole dog.

The answer to yesterdays What's That Wednesday is.................... An Underwater Treadmill. The treadmill is a piece of equiptment used by Cassie over at Four Paws Rehabilitation Center . The underwater treadmill allows patients to increase muscle mass in a low weight bearing environment. It's also a great option for weight loss and increasing range of motion. Jenkins loves his weekly visits with Cassie an here he shows you how low stress the treadmill can be.

As you can see, her mobility has returned and she doesn't hesitate to jump to the top of her cat trees and play. She's living the best life possible without the hindrance of a healing leg.
