May is National Chip Your Pet Month 🐾

One of the most common things we hear is:
“He never goes anywhere.”
“She’s strictly indoor only.”
“He doesn't leave my side.”

And most of the time, that’s true… until the one time it isn’t. Doors get left open. Harnesses slip. Vacation routines change. Pets panic in unfamiliar places. Even the most loyal pets can get lost in a matter of seconds.

Meet Joey. Joey belongs to our receptionist and was staying with her sister in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware for a few weeks. While no one was home, he managed to sneak outside and disappear on a little unauthorized adventure. Thankfully, Animal Control safely picked him up and scanned his microchip. Once his chip was entered into the database, Jami immediately received a text and email from 24PetWatch letting her know Joey had been found and how to contact the officer caring for him. Because Joey’s microchip information was 𝒓𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 and 𝒖𝒑 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆, he made it home safely.

A microchip is one of the best safety nets you can give your pet. It takes just seconds to scan, but it can make all the difference during a stressful situation.

Already chipped? This is your reminder to double check that the microchip is registered AND your phone number and email are current.

International Chihuahua Appreciation Day reminder: they may be small, but they are very committed to their job as household manager.

Chihuahuas specialize in:
• monitoring all activity from the highest available perch
• reacting immediately to anything suspicious (like a paper bag)
• selecting one favorite human and enforcing it consistently

They don’t need to be big. They just need to be heard.

Drop your Chihuahua pics below so we can celebrate the tiniest supervisors in the room 🐾

🚗: “Just running out for the dog’s meds.”
45 minutes later: still in traffic behind 3 Jeeps, 2 golf carts, and a family crossing the road with inflatable flamingos. ☀️🦩

Less waiting in traffic.
Less “I’ll just go tomorrow.”
More couch time with your furry supervisor. 🐶🐱

🌮🐾 Cinco de Meow-o vibes! 🐾🌮

Rascal is ready to fiesta in style—sombrero and all! 🎉 This mischievous little guy may look like he’s here for the tacos, but he’s really just stealing hearts (and maybe a few treats 😉).

From all of us at the clinic, we hope you and your furry friends have a safe, fun, and festive Cinco de Mayo! 💚
