📣 This is such an important message! ❤️‍🩹

Please make sure you have something set up for your animals in case you cannot care for them. Have it in your will or your trust. Set it up in writing. Don’t assume your family members will love them like you do. Put aside money to care for them. Your age is irrelevant. Anything can happen at any time to any of us and no one likes to talk about it but it is so, so important. ❤️‍🩹

Breaking News: Pet Microchip Company Closes Unexpectedly 🚨

Texas-based pet microchip provider Save This Life has shut down abruptly, raising concerns among pet owners and veterinary professionals. As a result, AAHA has removed the company from the Microchip Registry Lookup tool, meaning pets registered with Save This Life may no longer have owner information attached to their chip number.

🐾 What should pet owners do?
✔️ Have your pet’s microchip scanned at your veterinary clinic.
✔️ Use AAHA’s Microchip Lookup Tool to check the registration status.
✔️ If your pet’s chip was registered with Save This Life, re-register with a new provider ASAP.

📖 Read more about the situation and next steps: 👇

The closure of a pet microchip company sparks confusion, but AAHA's microchip registry lookup tool can help.

Just like us, cats and dogs have pearly whites that need to be kept healthy. Dental diseases don't just affect the mouth - they can impact your pet's overall health too. Look out for these signs and always ask your vet if you have questions. 🦷

Happy Tails Update! 🐾

Remember Clifford? He is now eight years old and the only cat in the house. His cat siblings have all crossed the rainbow bridge, and he only has dog brothers and sisters now. Don’t worry; he’s still the boss of the house, though! He enjoys sleeping in the dog beds, eating out of their bowls, and generally bossing them around.

Here he is, looking out the window, dreaming about the return of the hummingbirds. He consented to pose for this picture only if the dogs stayed in the background! His mom and dad say he is still quite the character!

Our hugs go to Clifford. He was a big favorite at the shelter. 💕
