Did you know, more pets go missing July 4th weekend than any other time of the year? Fireworks and loud noises can cause pets to run away. If your pet isn't microchipped, we strongly recommend booking your appointment, as it greatly increases the chances of reunification should your pet run away. If your pet is microchipped, be sure the contact information is up to date and they have a tag on their collar with emergency information!

Protect their paws from hot surfaces. 3. Never leave them alone in a car. Have more questions or concerns? Don’t hesitate to book an appointment today!

Pet Appreciation Week is a great reminder that showing your pet love includes staying proactive! Keep your furry friend healthy and happy with regular wellness exams & preventative care. 🐾 Don’t wait, schedule their appointment today!
