Vaccinations are vital for your pet's health. Keep your pet current on their vaccination schedule by calling Decorah Veterinary Clinic. Our caring professionals are well-educated on what vaccines are needed and appropriate based on your pet's lifestyle, overall health, exposure risk, travel habits, and more.
Make sure your pet can be identified if it goes missing with our
microchipping
services.
Microchipping
can identify your pet without the use of collars or tags that can fall off. A microchip significantly increases the chance of your pet being returned to you if found.
The microchip is about the size and shape of a grain of rice and is placed under your pet's skin between the shoulder blades. It contains vital information about your pet, including your name, address, and contact information. This information is in a national pet recovery database shared by veterinary hospitals, animal shelters, and animal control offices.
When a lost pet is picked up, a veterinarian can scan for the presence of the microchip and access its information so that you can be notified that your pet has been found. Microchipping
is safe for pets of all ages, and it is an effective way to make sure they come home if they get lost.
At Decorah Veterinary Clinic, we provide FREE microchip checks so that lost animals can find their way back to their owners and their homes.
