How important is microchipping? According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), "An estimated 10 million dogs and cats are lost or stolen in the United States every year. In a study published by the Journal of the AVMA, research revealed that only 22 percent of lost dogs entering shelters were returned to their families, but that percentage rose to more than 52 percent when a dog was microchipped."

In addition to this important information, we would like to make an introduction! This is Tank! When we saw him at 11 weeks old to start his first puppy package in December. During his visit, he had a microchip administered while being fed some much loved Gastrointestinal Low Fat canned food by Dr. Schmitt and loved on by Charlie.

We would like to introduce Jesse, an 8 week old Heeler! He came in to see Dr. Schmitt for a little bit of upset tummy, but received deworming and probiotics to go home. After passing a worm, he is doing well. Here at Putnam North AH, we are committed to our patients being intestinal parasite free by their last puppy package visit.
