It's Halloween Spirit week here at Merrill Animal Clinic. We have a special friend joining us this week. His name is The Ghoul (The Ghoul on the stool is his government name). If you see him around the clinic, be sure to snap a picture with him and let us know. Don't worry, we're pretty sure he doesn't bite. These are the pictures I gathered from his first day with us. Happy haunting!

We like big CATS and we cannot lie!🐱🐾

Carriers are not "one size fits all".

If your cat has the body proportions of a Thanksgiving turkey 🦃 please do not bring him to the vet in a carrier meant for a lunchbox.

Friendly reminder that cats should ALWAYS travel in a secure carrier - even the sweet ones!

Do you have a pet who's a little... NUTTY?

One little microchip can give your fur-baby a permanent form of identification that can help bring them safely home if they ever get lost. It's quick, simple, and just one tiny step that can make a BIG difference!
At Merrill Animal Clinic - we not only insert the microchip but we make sure it's registered correctly too! Walk out of our office knowing that your pet's information is secure because coming home is always the goal!🐾🏠☀️

Is your pet microchipped?
