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.

Veterinary teams—consider reaching out to clients with Save This Life chips to guide them through the process!

A dog’s nails grow continuously, and keeping them trimmed is essential for their health and comfort.

Why Trim Your Dog’s Nails?
1. Prevents Pain & Discomfort: Overgrown nails can press into the paw pad or grow sideways, causing pain while walking or standing.
2. Reduces Risk of Injury: Long nails can easily snag on carpets, furniture, or outdoor surfaces, leading to painful breaks or tears.
3. Improves Posture & Mobility: Overgrown nails affect how dogs distribute their weight, leading to poor posture and potential joint issues over time.
4. Protects Your Floors & Furniture: Long nails can cause scratches or damage to hardwood floors, furniture, and even car interiors.
5. Prevents Infections: Broken or split nails can expose the quick (the sensitive part inside the nail), increasing the risk of infection.

How to Trim Dog Nails:
1. Gather Tools:
• Use nail clippers or grinders designed for dogs.
• Keep styptic powder nearby in case of accidental bleeding.
2. Locate the Quick:
• The quick contains blood vessels and nerves. It’s visible as a pink area in light nails but can be harder to see in dark nails.
3. Trim Gradually:
• Cut small sections at a time to avoid cutting into the quick.
• If using a grinder, file the nail down slowly, focusing on shaping rather than aggressive trimming.
4. Maintain a Comfortable Position:
• Place your dog on a non-slip surface.
• Calmly hold their paw and avoid applying excessive pressure.
5. Reward & Repeat:
• Offer treats and praise to associate nail trimming with positive experiences.

How Often Should You Trim?
• Most dogs need a trim every 3-4 weeks, but this varies based on activity level and nail growth rate.
• Active dogs that walk on hard surfaces may naturally wear their nails down, requiring less frequent trimming.

Pro Tip:
Regular trims help the quick recede, making future trims easier and safer. Start nail care early in a dog’s life to get them accustomed to the process.
