😻Happy Caturday😻

We feel so lucky to have met this adorable kitten who just joined her wonderful forever family. This was her first vet visit and did not mind the treats. She does not have a name yet since she just came home to her new family. Do you have any suggestions for this pint sized cutie pie? Add your suggestions in the comments.

Microchip Company Ceases Operations: Does This Affect You?

The Save This Life microchip company, has suddenly ceased operations and closed down. If you had a Save This Life microchip and it was registered with them, your contact information is no longer accessible. This means, if your pet is found, there is not a way to contact you. The microchip is still able to be scanned, and you can register the chip with a new company.

Here are steps to tell if you have one of these microchips:

📄Check your pet’s medical or adoption paperwork for the microchip information.

👨‍⚕️If you do not have paperwork, you can check with your pet’s veterinary office to see if they have the microchip number on file. Most veterinary offices and shelters are happy to help you scan your pet for a microchip number.

➡If the microchip number starts with a 991 or 900164, it is one of the affected Save This Life microchips, according to Save This Life’s website.

⭐️We are able to scan for microchips at our hospital. Please give us a call to let us know when you might be stopping by; there is no charge for this service. The microchips that we use at our hospital are made by and registered with AKC Reunite, and are not affected by Save This Life's company closure.

If you have your microchip number, but you are unsure which company it is associated with, you can use AAHA’a Microchip Search page ➡(https://www.aaha.org/for-veterinary-professionals/microchip-search/) to look up the information.

If your pet’s microchip is not a Save This Life microchip, it is a good idea to contact the company you have registered it with to make sure all your information is up-to-date.

If your pet’s microchip is a Save This Life microchip, you will need to register it with a new company. If your pet is microchipped but the chip is not registered, be sure to register it. Some of the companies you can register your microchip with are listed here: https://www.aaha.org/participating-companies/

If you have questions, please contact one of our knowledgeable team members at 828-333-7356. We are happy to help.

If you've visited us recently, you might have already heard the news... but we are happy to finally make this exciting announcement! 🐾🥳

We are pleased to share that Dr. Jim Earley is the newest member of Partners Animal Hospital Asheville. Dr. Earley is an accomplished and beloved WNC veterinarian. He brings compassion, a high level of veterinary knowledge and technical skill, and a sense of humor to our practice. Dr. Frye and Dr. Earley have previously worked together for 7 years.

Dr. Jim Earley is a graduate of the Veterinary College at the University of Georgia (Cum Laude in 1991). He completed a rotating internship program in small animal medicine and surgery at Texas A&M University. He has continued his education through the years focusing on internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, ultrasound (with a special interest in cardiac ultrasound), and Fear Free techniques. He is a proud Certified Fear Free Veterinary Professional and a member of the American Animal Hospital Association, American Veterinary Medical Association, and the North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association.

Dr. Earley grew up in Alabama, and always had a heart for animals. Pets were considered to be part of his family, and he was always willing to help injured wildlife. Veterinary medicine combines his passions for medical knowledge, technical skill, and cultivating the human-animal bond. He appreciates that many people recognize animals are more than pets - they are family. Dr. Earley enjoys working with families to provide the best veterinary visits.

Dr. Earley is a foodie who loves to cook and grill. Joined by his lovely wife, Georgia, they enjoy dining at many of the wonderful restaurants in the area. When away from practicing veterinary medicine, he enjoys restoring houses, fishing, mountain biking, and spending time with his crew. His crew includes two dogs and a clowder of cats.

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Jim Earley! 🐾
