Micro-chipping

 

Dr. Keadle knows from his own personal experience that microchipping can help reunite you with your lost pet! Dr. Keadle's cat was lost for 3 months. Luckily, he had microchipped the cat and when a new client came in with her newly adopted cat from a shelter, Dr. Keadle realized her new cat was his missing cat. She didn't believe him, but he was able to scan the cat and the microchip proved he was Dr. Keadle's cat. We scan every stray that comes into our clinic, and if the animal has a microchip, even if it is not our client's pet, we will take the animal in and help reunite it with the owner. Microchipping your pet is done with a simple injection. It is not a surgical procedure. You do not have to have an exam and it only takes a few minutes. After Hurricane Ike we took in many strays. Fences were down and pets got out. The ones with microchips went home the same day they came in. Our last stray dog without a microchip was adopted in January and the two cats without microchips are still here. Please take a proactive approach to keep your pet safe. Microchipping is $44.99. The price includes the microchipping and the registration.
