One in three pets goes missing during its lifetime. A microchip is another method of ID that links your pet back to you and increases your chances of reuniting with your pet if it is lost. It is the size of a grain of rice and is inserted between your dog’s shoulder blades with a simple injection. Veterinary hospitals and shelters have scanners that can read these chips, should your pet become lost and separated from his collar and tags.

In addition to full exams, low-fee vaccination clinics are available to protect pets from common, yet potentially harmful, diseases. Appointments are required; walk-ins are not accepted. Click here for additional information.
