Microchipping
Of the six to eight million cats and dogs who find their way into shelters nationwide yearly, less than 2 percent of cats are ever reunited with their owners. Dogs, who more commonly wear visible identification or are microchipped, are reunited with their worried owners 7.5 to 15 times more often.
Ensuring the highest likelihood of reuniting with your pet in case of a stray or escape incident is by having them microchipped. The team at The Vet considers microchip pet IDs a fundamental precaution for your pet and an essential part of responsible pet ownership.
We use an AVID microchip system. Each microchip registers a pet with a unique identification number filed in a database with your contact information. The contact details can be updated at any time, and it is essential to remember to do so whenever your information changes. If your pet is lost, the microchip can be scanned by animal control officers at shelters, veterinary hospitals in the U.S., and many foreign countries.
This safe, reliable, and permanent pet identification takes less than five seconds to implant and can save you and your pet days—weeks. Or more of fear and anguish.
End-of-Life Services
Even thinking about their pet’s final days is difficult and emotional for many pet owners. Our pets are a part of our family. This strong bond, born from years of companionship, makes this time particularly hard to bear.
When possible, The Vet offers at-home euthanasia to established clients. However, our hospital patient schedule may not allow us to do so on short notice. Therefore, to provide more timely services, we often refer clients to a compassionate in-home euthanasia service when unavailable to perform the procedure. We also offer cremations through a crematory service. Your veterinarian can provide more information on these options.
We all at The Vet will do our best to help you address these critical issues with the compassion and sensitivity they require.
