🐾 June is National Microchip Month! 🐾

Did you know that microchipping your pet greatly increases the chances of being reunited if they ever get lost? A microchip is a simple, safe, and permanent form of identification that can help bring pets back home where they belong. ❤️

Even indoor pets can slip out unexpectedly — make sure your furry family member has the protection they deserve. If your pet is already microchipped, now is the perfect time to double-check that your contact information is up to date!

🐶🐱 Tiny chip. Huge peace of mind.

🥾🐾 Hiking with your dog can be a great adventure — but preparation is key!

Before hitting the trails:
✔️ Build your dog’s endurance with shorter walks first
✔️ Protect paws from rough terrain
✔️ Bring plenty of water and snacks
✔️ Watch for signs of overheating or exhaustion
✔️ Keep dogs leashed to protect wildlife, plants, and your pet
✔️ Check for ticks after your hike
✔️ Be cautious around yellow jackets and other wildlife

A safe, prepared hike means more fun for both you and your furry trail buddy! 🐶⛰️

MEET ROBYN!
Robyn is a 1.5 year old female Husky who developed infected wounds on the sides of her tongue due to trauma. She was unable to eat and drooling excessively for several days. Our board-certified surgeon, Dr. Olsen, performed emergency surgery to remove some portions of Robyn's tongue. After her 3 week recovery, Robyn is fully healed and eating normally!

Today is a day to acknowledged orphaned pets. Doing so can lead to a rise in adoptions, a decline in euthanasia, and a reduction in the sales at puppy mills. Light a candle for a pet https://remembermethursday.org
