Does your pet have a microchip? We can scan your pet’s microchip to make sure it is still in place 🐶.

Protect your pets from the scorching heat wave! The heat wave ☀️ is giving oven vibes right now. Keep them indoors, provide ample fresh water, shade, and maybe even a fan 🪭. Do NOT leave your pet in a vehicle even with the windows cracked. Temperatures inside a vehicle 🚙 can rapidly reach over 160 degrees, even with the windows open. 🥵 Heat stroke can strike in minutes and can be fatal.
