Microchips can be a lifesaver when it comes to bringing lost pets home 🐕‍🦺

Today is Check the Chip Day, created by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) to remind pet owners to:
✔️ Microchip your pet if they don’t have one yet
✔️ Register the chip right away with your current info
✔️ Have your veterinarian scan it at each yearly checkup
✔️ Review and update the info every year

Don't forget, a microchip can be added to your custom Care Plan. Ask your veterinarian for more information. Microchipping is quick, easy, and could make all the difference if you ever get separated from your pet!

If you're a baseball fan, you might recognize our newest Heart + Paw teammate: Tugger! He stopped by Heart + Paw King of Prussia this week and he knocked it out of the park ⚾️

Tugger is part of , a nonprofit that helps recovering Service Members and Veterans reconnect with their families, communities, and each other through the healing power of canine companionship.

Having lived all along the west coast from an island in Washington state to San Diego, California, Dr. Martin decided to adventure to the east coast when she attended the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine, which she graduated from in 2019. After a year of working at Louisiana State University, she settled down in Baltimore. Realizing how special Fells Point is, she moved to the neighborhood in 2021.

She has a special appreciation for cats and all the unique conditions that they can face, so she is certified as a cat friendly veterinarian. She's also very passionate about minimizing the stress of patients in the clinic and is Fear Free Certified.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Martin spends her free time with her two ocicats, Rory and Rupert, and loves baking, playing Magic: The Gathering and video games, and painting miniatures and watercolors.

❗️𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗬𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗣𝗘𝗧 𝗢𝗪𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗦 ❗️

There has been an animal safety alert issued by the State of Maryland for the non-tidal Potomac River due to toxic algal mats. Anatoxin was detected at higher levels than seen before. No animal cases have been reported to date; however, animal contact with algal mats that have washed up on the shoreline should be avoided. These harmful algae are native to the Chesapeake Bay and occur in higher abundances mostly during low flow, high temperatures (the hottest/ driest parts of summer) and when specific nutrient levels are present. Toxic algae mats are currently located in the Potomac River in the area from Edwards Ferry to Great Falls, Montgomery County.

𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:
* Tremors
* Muscle rigidity
* Paralysis,
* Convulsions,
* Coma,
* Cyanosis
* Hypersalivation
* Potential death

🔺Livestock should be kept away from algal mats and kept out of the river.

🔺Dog owners are advised to keep pets on leash, prevent them from eating algal mats (in water or on shore), wash them after being in affected areas, give fresh water to drink and contact your veterinarian if signs are noted.

Staff highlight - Calie
Calie just got the news that she was accepted into the RVT (registered veterinary technician) program and we couldn't be more excited for her. She is truly the sunshine that holds us all together on difficult days. Her dedication to being a full time student, full time employee and a mom is truly remarkable. We couldn't be more proud.
