Even if your pet is not a flight risk, having them microchipped is a tiny investment for their lifelong security and your peace of mind. Plus, it's painless and quick! With a microchip, your pet carries a permanent ID that can't be lost or removed. It's NOT a GPS tracker and doesn't tell you where your pet is. But, when scanned by a vet or shelter, the ID number links back to YOU through a registered database.

Don't leave your furry friends' safety to chance! Call us to schedule a microchip appointment, (307) 204-4461.

Cancer is such a scary thought, so early recognition, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment are key. Since the cause of most cancers is not known, prevention is difficult. That's why annual or bi-annual exams and annual blood work are so important as they can help us discover issues. To schedule a wellness exam for your pet or discuss a new cancer screening blood work option, give us a call at (307) 204-4461.

Arthritis in pets is painful and progressive, but early intervention and the right treatment (joint supplements for example) can prevent arthritis and slow progression. Yet, it often goes undiagnosed and untreated in pets. Osteoarthritis in dogs mostly results from developmental problems and actually tends to start at a young age. In cats, osteoarthritis is exceedingly common.

You can learn more about treatment options or discuss your concerns with a vet by calling 307-204-4461 and scheduling an appointment.

🐾 Microchipping your pets is one of the best ways to ensure their quick return if they ever get lost. The actual microchip is a small, electronic chip about the size as a grain of rice. It is activated by a scanner that is passed over the area, and the radio waves put out by the scanner activate the chip. The chip transmits the identification number to the scanner, which displays the number on the screen. It's like a permanent ID that can't be lost or removed.

No surgery or anesthesia is required—a microchip can be implanted during a routine veterinary office visit. If your pet is already undergoing anesthesia for a procedure, the microchip often can be implanted while they're still under. Call us to schedule an appointment at (307) 204-4461.

A collar with a proper ID tag is the easiest way for someone who finds your lost pet to get them back to you safely. Make sure the tag includes your pet's name, your phone number, and your address (optional). If your pet is microchipped, make mention of that and if they require any medications. It's also important to include a rabies vaccination tag in addition to their ID tag.

Don't wait until it's too late! Tag your pet today!

Heartworm preventives come in different forms and protect against different things. Some only prevent heartworms, some protect pets from heartworms and intestinal parasites, and some protect pets from many different parasites, like heartworms, intestinal worms, fleas, ticks, and mites.

Based on the parasites common in our area, we can recommend the most effective products for your pets. Depending on the route you choose, we have an injection called Proheart12 for one year of protection. Just need to order more meds for your pet? Visit our online store: https://bit.ly/48r9c7f
