🎉🐾 R160 MICROCHIP SPECIAL! 🐾🎉

The holidays are coming, and while we’re dreaming of road trips, family gatherings and festive fun, our pets might have other plans… like embarking on an unexpected solo adventure!

An open gate, a loud firework, or an unfamiliar environment can be all it takes for your furry friend to get lost.

A microchip could make all the difference! 💚 This tiny chip carries a unique identification number that can help reunite you with your pet if they ever go missing.

📅 2 November – 15 December 2026

Give your pet the gift of a little extra security this festive season!

Please note: The R160 microchip special is only available when your pet is seen by a veterinarian as part of a consultation or vaccination. T&Cs apply.

🚨🐾 Meet the Team That’s There When Every Second Counts!

When a pet has a medical emergency, quick decisions and specialised care can make all the difference. That’s where our Emergency & Critical Care (ECC) team comes in!

But what exactly is ECC?
ECC is a veterinary speciality dedicated to treating pets who are seriously ill, injured or facing life-threatening conditions. From road accidents and poisoning to breathing difficulties, seizures and sudden medical emergencies, ECC teams work to stabilise patients, provide intensive treatment and monitor them closely as they recover.

What does this mean for your pet?
✔️ Rapid assessment and emergency stabilisation.
✔️ Close monitoring of critically ill patients.
✔️ Advanced treatment and intensive supportive care.
✔️ A dedicated team making time-critical decisions when it matters most.

Meet the Drs in our ECC department

Dr Anthea Michaletos, who has officially qualified as an ECVECC Diplomate! This is an incredible achievement, representing years of advanced training, dedication and rigorous examinations to become a recognised specialist in veterinary emergency and critical care.

Working alongside her is Dr Laurie Morris, who is currently a resident in the ECC specialist training programme, further developing her expertise in caring for critically ill and injured animals.

We are incredibly proud to have this dedicated team at Valley Farm Animal Hospital. Their specialised knowledge and commitment help us provide pets with the best possible care when they need it most.

A little reminder that could make a big difference!

Is your pet’s microchip information up to date?

If your pet ever goes missing, having the correct contact details linked to their microchip can make all the difference in helping them find their way home.

Read the post below to learn how to check whether your pet’s microchip is registered and how to update your details if needed.

A few minutes today could make all the difference tomorrow!

🔍 Is Your Pet’s Microchip Registered Correctly?

A microchip is only as good as the information linked to it! Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to make sure your pet’s details are up to date:

Step 1: Locate Your Pet’s Microchip Number
• Check your pet’s adoption/vaccination book OR
• Ask your vet to scan your pet to confirm the number.
• 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁: 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘃𝗲𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗽 – 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸!

Step 2: Find Out Which Database It’s Registered On
• South Africa has multiple databases.
• Knowing where your pet’s chip is registered makes it easier to add, update, or correct information.

Step 3: Confirm Your Contact Details
• Log in to the database or call them directly.
• Make sure your phone number, address, and email are correct.
• If you aren’t registered on the database, it’s likely your details were never captured – which makes the chip null and void!

Step 4: Update When Life Changes
• Moving house? New phone number? Update straight away!

✅ Tip: Add “Check my pet’s microchip” to your pet’s annual vet visit checklist. It’s quick, easy, and could make all the difference if your pet ever goes missing.

🐾 A registered, updated microchip could be the reason your lost pet finds their way home.
