August is our Pet Insurance & Microchip Month

Unexpected illness and injuries to pets can often cause their owners financial burdens that they are not able to bear. Many times these pets are not given the proper medical care or even euthanized due to lack of finances. Fortunately there is pet insurance available. There are many plans to choose from, including plans that cover routine annual care.

Another way we can protect our pets is with the insertion of a microchip. This gives our pets a permanent identification number that allows personnel to contact the owner if the pet is ever lost. Below are some web sites with more information on microchips and pet insurance:
