Vaccines help teach your pet's immune system how to recognize and fight off certain disease-causing agents. Vaccines work by stimulating the immune system's production of antibodies that identify and destroy these agents—before they can cause disease. This helps prevent or lessen the severity of future disease.

People ooh and ahh at fireworks, but unexpected, intermittent loud noises tend to have the opposite effect on dogs. That's why more pets go missing on July 4th than on any other day of the year. Make a plan before the Fourth to ensure your pooch stays safe.

Call the office today to get your pets meds or set up an appointment to be prepared for the holiday.

IS YOUR PET MICROCHIPPED?

Let’s face it, regardless of our due diligence to protect them, pets have a way of getting into trouble…and getting lost—especially if they are not wearing their collar/harness with an ID tag.

Unexpected causes for a pet to run off can include:

Excitement: Squirrel!! Going after their best friend or that critter they have been battling furrrever!

Fear/anxiety: Loud noises like thunder, fireworks, cars backfiring, etc.

Natural disasters: Earthquakes, fires, floods—natural occurrences may force us to evacuate or keep us from our homes and pets may flee the area.

Each year, 10 million pets in the U.S. go missing and sadly only up to 10% that are unchipped are reunited with their owners (American Humane).

The number one thing you can do to find your best friend if they get lost is to get them microchipped.

Most veterinary hospitals and animal shelters can scan a microchip in your pet, search the various microchip registration databases, and reach you if your pet is found.

If your pet needs a microchip, or you are not sure if they already have one, book an appointment today.
