A lot of our clients ask us about microchipping . . .

Microchips are a permanent ID placed under your pet’s skin that can’t be removed or lost, and we recommend them because they greatly increase the chance of a lost pet being reunited with their family. We use the HomeAgain Thermochips to microchip your pets — and we love them!

​HomeAgain Thermochips work just like a standard pet microchip, helping lost pets find their way home safely. What makes them even better is the built-in temperature sensor. Along with your pet’s ID number, a special microchip scanner can read their body temperature right where the chip is placed. This gentle, stress-free option is especially helpful for cats and for dogs who get a little anxious during exams.

Registration is included in the cost of the microchip, and if your pet is already scheduled for a sedated procedure—like a spay, neuter, or dental—you’ll receive a $10 discount when the chip is added at the same time.

Watch the attached video to learn more about the benefits of HomeAgain thermochips, or give us a call!

We understand that animal emergencies can happen, and unexpected expenses can be challenging to pay. To help, we partner with several finance programs that allow you to spread out the cost of care.

Last week, we said goodbye to Maura, our Collbran veterinary technician; we wish her all the best in Oklahoma!

We’re happy to let our Collbran clients know that Calla — Dr. Dennison’s daughter, a Plateau Valley School graduate, and our skilled technician from Rifle — is returning to Collbran. We’re so excited to have her back in the Collbran office!

She's available in Collbran on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. For all our Rifle clients who already miss her, she'll be in Rifle on Tuesdays. Stop in and say hello!
