If you recall our post from yesterday, we asked how much you thought Mr Turtle weighed... She weighed in on our scale at 35lbs!

Here are some unique facts about Sulcata tortoises:

o Also known as the African Spurred Tortoise
o The third largest tortoise species - the largest mainland and third largest in the
world
o With proper care, some can live over 100 years!
o They can dig burrows up to 10 feet long
o Sulcatas are fast growers reaching over 100lbs within a few decades.
o Social Butterflys - they recognize their caretakes and develop distinct personalities. Mr
Turtle's owner said that she recognizes her voice when she hears it ❤️
o They enjoy shell "scritches" just like your furry friends enjoy ear "scritches"

Did you know dental disease is present in nearly 85% of pets over the age of 3? The signs aren't always obvious until your pet is at risk for serious issues such as infection and tooth loss.
In honor of Pet Dental Health Month, we are offering $85 off of dental cleanings and 20% off of home dental care supplies for the month of February.

🚨 Important Update on Save This Life Microchips 🚨

We want to make our clients aware that Save This Life, the microchip company we have used, has shut down nationwide and is no longer responding to customer inquiries. Unfortunately, this means their microchips are no longer a reliable way to reunite lost pets with their families.

To ensure your pet’s microchip remains a dependable form of identification, we highly recommend updating its registration with a different, reputable microchip registry.

Alternative Microchip Registries:
☑️ Free Pet Chip Registry – A free, universal database that works with all microchip brands. You can register your pet at: https://bit.ly/42LvNvK
☑️Other Trusted Registries – A quick online search will provide additional options (some may have a small registration fee).

Not sure what your pet’s microchip number is? We’re happy to scan your pet and provide that information—just give us a call to schedule a visit!

If you’d like to check whether your pet has a Save This Life microchip, you can enter the number into the AAHA Universal Microchip Lookup Tool at aaha.org.

We understand this may be frustrating, and we’re here to help! Please reach out with any questions. We will be looking for the best replacement option and should have those available next week.

Free Pet Chip Registry is dedicated to the well being and safe return of your pet when lost! Free registration for all pets with microchips in North America!
