Collars can break and tags can fade, but a microchip can provide a permanent path back home.

June is National Microchipping Month, and while these tiny tags cannot track location, a battery-free microchip provides a unique ID that stays with your pet for life. This tamperproof safety net significantly raises the odds of a reunion if registry details stay current.

It's National Microchipping Month! Ensure your pets are registered and have updated identification. It's their ticket back home if they wander off.

Hey Folks, the weather is getting HOT HOT HOT. We want to remind everyone that heat stroke is a real thing for our furry friends. Please keep outside visits short and sweet, make sure they have shade and water and lots of breaks if you have to be outside. Also remember that the asphalt/pavement can easily burn their feet, if it's hot to you, it's definitely hot to them-remember they don't have shoes!

Warning Signs of Heatstroke
According to the AVMA Warm Weather Pet Safety guidelines, watch for these severe symptoms:
Excessive, frantic panting and heavy drooling
Abnormal gum or tongue color (bright red, purple, or pale)
Lethargy,
unsteadiness, or collapsing
Vomiting or bloody diarrhea

You can check out the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) website https://www.avma.org/resources-tools/pet-owners/petcare/warm-weather-pet-safety to look for more tips on what to do if you suspect that your dog has heat stress.
Do not hesitate to call, this is a very serious condition, that can occur quickly.
Remember that we are here for you with any questions or concerns!

Warm weather poses health risks to pets, even on days that don’t seem that hot. Knowing the risks and being prepared can help keep pets safe.
