Based on the number of lost/found pets we hear about, this event is really needed from Dr. Courtney Perry, who is opening a clinic this summer on Church Avenue, just east of CIA. Following the event, they'll have a scanner, so they'll also be able to read microchips if you happen to find a pet on the street.
No appointment necessary to bring in your dog or cat to have them microchipped by Dr. Courtney Perry of PAWSitive Veterinary of New York. Microchips are about the size of a grain of rice, and when implanted under the skin, provide permanent identification for your pet. No sedation or anesthesia is necessary, the procedure itself takes just a few seconds and is similar to giving a vaccine. If your pet is lost, make sure they come home! We use ISO 15-digit international microchips from HomeAgain, a leader in microchip technology. Registration with HomeAgain not only includes registration in their National Pet Recovery Database, but also includes free access to their 24/7 Medical Emergency Helpline, Lost Pet Travel Assistance and More! So, don't take the chance, get your pet microchipped! For more information about microchipping, visit the HomeAgain website at www.homeagain.com.
