This is not the microchip registry associated with the microchips we use, however various rescue groups and other animal hospitals have possibly used this company's service.

If you have your microchip number (it should be on paperwork associated with your animals adoption) you can check to see which registry your pet's microchip is registered to at this link https://www.aaha.org/for-veterinary-professionals/microchip-search/. If you do not know your pet's microchip number you can bring them in to be scanned or check your most recent rabies certificate to see if it is listed.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT MICROCHIPS ‼️

Save This Life microchip company has abruptly shut down, unregistered from the national database of microchip registrations, and are not receiving or responding to customer services inquiries via email, phone, or other communication channels.

**If you ever adopted an animal from our clinic’s adoption program between 2016-2023, they likely have a Save This Life microchip. You will want to register your chip with another business such as this FREE one --

https://www.freepetchipregistry.com/

Or by scanning any of the barcodes in the image to register through those companies.
Check your adoption records. If you can't find them, your vet can scan your pet for free with a universal scanner and tell you what company your chip is registered with and what the number is. If you know the number, but not the company, you can look it up using the AAHA Universal Microchip Look Up Tool at AAHA.org.

It's officially October!
Our favorite time of year here at Ard Vista. 🎃

If you want your pet to wear a costume for Halloween, now is the time to slowly introduce them to the concept! Keep the initial sessions short and positive, and make sure the costume is not too tight, does not limit their vision or irritate their skin.

🚨 URGENT: Asheville Humane Society needs our help! 🚨

The catastrophic damage from Hurricane Helene has overwhelmed the Asheville Humane Society, and countless animals are in desperate need of safety. We’re partnering with BISSELL Pet Foundation to rescue as many pets as possible, but we can’t do it without your help!

We need emergency fosters to help us take in these animals! If you’ve never fostered before, that’s okay! Fostering is completely free—Forsyth Humane Society will provide you with all of the supplies you might need to help care for one of these animals. Every foster home we can secure is another life we can save! 🐾❤️

If you can step up to help us out, please email [email protected] with the subject line “Hurricane Helene Foster”, or check forsythhumane.org/foster for incoming animals.

It's the final day of Bernard's dental journey!

Overall he had five teeth extracted, and one that we are watching closely. Dr. Patton gave him a 24 hour injection of a narcotic pain medication, as well as daily oral anti-inflammatory medication. He will need to eat canned food until his sutures dissolve in about 7-10 days, but then he will be okay to return to dry food.

Bernard will need a dental cleaning with x-rays next year, and then every 1-2 years for the next few years. His dental disease may progress to where he loses the rest of his teeth, or his remaining healthy teeth may stay healthy for the rest of his life.
We do know he is going to be so much happier without his painful, crumbling teeth.

Bernard is a good reminder that cats are excellent at hiding signs of pain or illness. It's important that all cats get a yearly nose to tail exam, even if they seem healthy!
