Did you know? More pets go missing during the summer months, especially around holidays like the Fourth of July. 🌞🇺🇸
Fireworks, travel, and open doors can turn even the most loyal pup into a little escape artist. The good news is, a microchip can help bring them home faster.
A microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and is placed just under your pet’s skin. If your pet ever gets lost, veterinary clinics and animal control can scan the chip and quickly connect them back to you through your updated contact information. 📲
A few important reminders:
👉 Microchips are NOT GPS trackers
👉 Your contact information must stay up to date
👉 Even indoor pets should be microchipped
At Coastal Vet in Virginia Beach, we’re all about keeping your furry family members safe, healthy, and close to home where they belong. 💙
