🐾 Happy National Check the Chip Day! 🐾

Today is the perfect reminder to ensure your furry friends are microchipped and their info is up to date! Microchips are the best way to protect your pet should they ever go missing, and they help us reunite countless pets with their families every year.

🐶 Microchipping at HARP:
▪️ You can make an appointment for microchipping at our East Side and North Side Veterinary Medical Centers by calling 412-345-7300 x. 211.
▪️ Or, visit one of our walk-in vaccine clinics to have your pet microchipped on the spot! ➡️ https://bit.ly/2SKKpts

🐾 Why Microchip?
▪️ A microchip is a tiny, electronic form of ID, no bigger than a grain of rice, implanted under your pet's skin.
▪️ All pets adopted from HARP are microchipped with free lifetime registration!

🔍 Remember, every animal that comes through HARP's doors is checked for a microchip!
