For those who may have not seen the email sent out from NVC in February:

Earlier in February it was brought to our attention that the Microchip Provider known as Save This Life has closed for business without any notice. As a result of this closure, it was reported that microchip numbers associated with this company (typically starting with 991 or 900164) will no longer be accessible to search through the national pet recovery database, which has raised concern in the community as to how lost pets with these microchips will be reunited with their families.

If one or more of your pets has received a microchip implant at Nicollet Vet Clinic prior to 2022, there is a possibility that the microchip implanted is from Save This Life.

We wanted to make you aware of how you can ensure your existing microchip is registered with the national pet recovery database appropriately.

Locate your pet's microchip number and information that was given to you at time of implant. If you are unable to locate that information, no worries! You can contact us at the office and we can provide you with your pets microchip number.

You can type in your pets microchip on this website https://www.aaha.org/for-veterinary-professionals/microchip-search/ to see if your pets chip is from Save This Life.

A company you can use to register your pet would be Home Again.
To contact Home Again Pet Recovery to register your microchip number with their national pet recovery database in one of two ways:
By phone at 1-888-466-3242 or
By website at https://www.homeagain.com/our-services and click on the "Enroll Now" button to begin registration
Registration fees may apply. Please contact Home Again by phone with any questions regarding registration process and fees. You are always welcome to find another alternative to register your pets microchip. It is the recommendation of Nicollet Vet Clinic that you register with Home Again since they are a company we support and stand behind when it comes to microchip implants and their recovery database.

We hope this information helps relieve any concerns over how to be reunited with your beloved pet(s) should they go missing!

After scanning lost pet, enter the number into the microchip registry tool to search for the manufacturer of the chip.

The next several days are going to be EXTREMELY COLD!!! Serious frostbite could happen in minutes! We need to use extra caution during these times to make sure our indoor pets are not left out too long unsupervised. Also our outdoor animals should have access to sufficient shelter/warmth/food.

We recently participated in a workshop designed to fine-tune our dental skills. Photos of our dental equipment and technicians learning proper care procedures are attached. As oral health is essential for the well-being and happiness of our pets, we encourage you to schedule a core dental procedure with us today.

Our clinic is currently unable to receive certain calls at this time. It appears to be linked with Verizon lines. If you have a landline we can be reached that way or can try email.

Greetings Everyone!

Nicollet Veterinary Clinic strives to provide our patients with high-quality medicine and up to date standards of care. In order for us to achieve this, we ensure each and every staff member is provided with regularly scheduled continuing education to stay up to date with current advances in veterinary medicine.

We will be closed this coming Monday and Tuesday, December 2nd and 3rd, for scheduled staff training. We will not be available for routine wellness or sick appointments. We will, however, still be available during our normal business hours those days for booking future appointments, technician appointments that do not require a doctor and medication pickup/refill requests.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

We will resume full operation on Wednesday, December 4th.

With warm regards,

Nicollet Veterinary Clinic

"You have as many jobs as you have names.

They call you techs, nurses, vet techs, assistants, and sometimes just superwoman.

Those that know you recognize that you are highly qualified and often underappreciated.

But you are passionate and caring. You have dedicated your lives to helping animals.

And veterinary medicine would be lost without you."

Thank you again to our veterinary technicians and assistants for all that they do. We would be lost without you!
