Please note, this is NOT the microchip company we use at Lima Veterinary Center, but if you have a pet with a microchip from Life Microchips, please be advised, they have shut down. It is possible to re-register your pet's microchip through another company. We use SmartTag, and I know they do register chips from other companies in their database. Please see the attached report.

The Texas-based company, Save This Life, has ceased operations and that could become an issue for pet owners.

Did you know, every time you use a credit/debit card, the merchant pays processing fees to your credit card company? Those fees can cost them 2-4% of your total purchase! In an effort to contain costs and avoid raise our veterinary service prices, beginning Nov 15th, LVC will start passing those processing fees back to the card user instead of absorbing the cost ourselves. For those using a card, we will add a 3% fee which will be paid directly to the card company at the time of payment. For those choosing to pay by cash or check, you will be unaffected by the change.

Reminder for my horse friends.

As pastures turn green (and white, and then green again) please remember to be vigilant of warning signs of spring laminitis. Monitoring digital pulses is a good way to detect when your horses have had enough. A bounding (throbbing) pulse indicates urgent need to pull the horse off the grass for awhile and fill in with a lower carb roughage source like hay. The carb level in grass increases throughout the day and then slowly decreases through the night, so the safest time for a sensitive horse to be out on pasture is first thing in the morning, then come in before noon.
