I've been waiting on a few more photos to trickle in to share to make sure I had everybody but congratulations to the first Orchard Hills group for graduating the Manner Basics class! This was a totally fun group and I'm so thankful to everyone for sticking it out with me!

I'm bummed that we didn't get a group picture but aren't these little graduation pictures just the cutest?! 🥰🥰🥰

Hi Orchard Hills! Quick reminder that we will NOT have class today as per last week's discussion due to the holiday. I'll see you all next week at our usual time! 🙂

Hey there, fellow pet parents! Today, let's have a chat about something that might not be the first thing on our minds, but is incredibly important for our four-legged pals - dog microchips. These tiny devices are like your dog's personal ID card, and they play a big role in keeping our furry buddies safe and sound.

Alright, so picture this: your dog suddenly goes on an unplanned adventure, slipping through the fence or dashing out the front door. It's every pet owner's nightmare, right? But hang on, here's where the microchip magic comes into play.

So, What Exactly Are Dog Microchips?
Think of dog microchips as super-small electronic chips – we're talking the size of a rice grain – that get implanted just beneath your pup's skin. No, it's not going to turn them into cyborgs, don't worry! This chip holds a unique ID number that links to your contact details in a big pet owner database.

How Do They Work, You Ask?
Good question! So, if your little explorer ends up at a shelter or vet clinic, they'll be scanned with a handheld device. It's like giving your dog a little boop with a magic wand. Beep, and there you have it – your dog's ID number pops up on the scanner. This number is like a golden ticket to the database, where your contact info resides. This means you're just a phone call away from your lost pup!

Why Should You Care About Microchips?
Well, collars and tags can fall off or get scratched and become unreadable in the midst of all that adventuring. But a microchip? It's your pet's permanent ID, their lifetime BFF. If they're ever found miles away from home, that tiny chip becomes your pet's superhero cape. It increases the chances of them being reunited with you by leaps and bounds.

Some advanced microchips can even hold medical details. It's like your dog's medical history in a micro-sized capsule – super handy in emergencies.

So, what's the takeaway? Studies show that microchipped dogs are way more likely to find their way back home. It's like a safety net for you and your furry sidekick. They're a permanent ID that increases the chances of your lost pet finding their way back to you. If your pup isn't chipped yet, maybe it's time to have that chat with your vet. Because every tail-wagging adventurer deserves a way back home, right?

PS - don't forget you need to REGISTER your dog's microchip once you have one! Otherwise, your information will not be tied to it at all!

Let's get chipping!😁

just an FYI, if you haven't done it yet I would highly recommend getting your dog microchipped! it could be the difference between finding them out of state on vacation and not. when your dog goes for their annual checkup (or vaccines), you should ask the vet to scan their chip to make sure it is in working order and hasn't moved down their body anywhere!

I thought I'd pass along this info but this is all the info I have. I am inside of you must be a resident of lake county (or Eustis itself) but it's worth looking into!

Hiya Orchard Hills pals! If you are signed up for Sunday's class, please check your junk mail for a vaccine upload form!...

Hiya Orchard Hills pals! If you are signed up for Sunday's class, please check your junk mail for a vaccine upload form! If you did not get it, please shoot me a message and I can send you the link to upload. I need to have those documents by Saturday evening if at all possible! If you are having trouble with it, please arrive 10 - 15 minutes early to class so I can walk you through the process and get those records documented!

I'm looking forward to seeing all of you! :)
