Tomorrow is National Check The Chip Day!

-Is your pet microchipped but you don't remember the last time you updated your information?
-Did you adopt a new edition the the family and you're unsure if they have a chip? Or who the old chip is registered to?

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

Come see us tomorrow August 15th between 8am-12pm, and 1pm-5pm! We can scan for a microchip and provide you with your pet's microchip company information so you can contact them to update, or we can get you scheduled if they do not have one.

Meet Max, who has a family that loves him. When Max becomes lost, it's his microchip to the rescue! August 15 is Check the Chip Day, where we remind pet owne...

As the devastation continues to unfold in Lahaina our thoughts turn to the two vet clinics and all the displaced pets in the area. We’ve been told the best way to help is to make a monetary donation to the Maui Humane Society. Please join Highland in assisting their efforts during this unimaginable time.💕

Imagine you're out in the yard with the family, and something you never thought your sweet Fluffy would ever do happens😱

While we're taught to be aware of aggressive dogs, any dog can bite. Whether it be pain, fear, guarding, etc., you could help prevent Fluffy from this situation by learning his/her behaviors and triggers.

For National Dog Bite Prevention Week, here are some recourses to keep you, Fluffy, and those around you safe and happy!

Do you have Pet insurance? 🐶

When getting a new puppy or kitten, we definitely recommend looking into pet insurance! Most policies do not cover pre existing conditions, so getting it before an accident/illness occurs can really help keep your focus on your pet rather than the 💲💲 . For more information and quote comparisons, check out the "client corner" tab on our website!

Helping your cat back to their “normal”! We are so excited to announce Highland Animal Clinic has started to carry Solensia, the FIRST and ONLY FDA-approved treatment to control cat osteoarthritis pain. Cat owners reported that not only did it help control their pain but improved their quality of life with better general mobility and comfort. We have used it on our clinic kitty Spice as well as Julie senior kitty Lily and are happy to say it WORKS! Solensia is a protein, not a chemical, and works like your cat’s naturally made antibodies to reduce pain signals.

See Prescribing Info: https://bit.ly/SOLENSIAPI. Cats suffering from osteoarthritis (OA) pain may start acting differently. Ask us about Solensia, the first and only FDA-approved treatment to control cat OA pain.

If you think your cat has pain, give us a call (907-344-0561), we’re happy to find options to help your cat.
