July is National Lost Pet Prevention Month, and July 1st is ID Your Pet Day!

Is your dog or cat microchipped?

We highly recommend all pets be microchipped to increase the chances of successful recovery of lost pets to their homes! ID tags and Rabies tags on collars can get broken and/or lost, but every veterinary clinic and animal shelter has a microchip scanner to be able to identify a lost pet and hopefully reunite them with their family members!

If your pet isn't microchipped, consider calling our office for more information on how to get him/her scheduled to receive one!

Sunny is such a sweetie! Welcome to The Animal Doctors, kiddo!

Isn't Paws so handsome?

One of our coworkers captured this beautiful picture of him and his dad while Dr. Schnurer was examining him. He was getting some puppy ice cream as a distraction, too!

We do our best to make our patients feel as comfortable as they possibly can at the office. Sometimes, that involves puppy ice cream or chicken/tuna treats. 😍 Wouldn't you love to know what our pockets smell like by the end of the day?

Mr. Puck was recently in to be neutered and microchipped.

This month is National Microchipping Month!

Prior to microchip placement, we always scan our patients to make sure that they don't have a microchip already that their owners did not know about. We like to place microchips while our patients are asleep, as it is a fairly big-gauge needle that we have to use to place the microchip.

We insert the microchip in the subcutaneous tissue in the layer right below the skin. Then, we use a small microchip reader device to make sure that it is indeed where we placed it, and then the owner can register the microchip number with the company that we use. That microchip number will then be able to be tracked by the company should that pet get lost and then get found by someone else.

It's really helpful to have a microchipped placed underneath your pet's skin because it gives shelters and veterinary clinics a way to get lost pets back to their owners!

If you have questions about microchipping your pet, please feel free to call us!
