HomeAgain Microchips: A Standard of Safety for Your Jupiter Pet
A lost pet is a frightening situation with often devastating consequences. According to the American Humane Association, about 10 million dogs and cats are lost or stolen every year. A study published by the American Veterinary Medical Association revealed that dogs with microchips were 238 percent more likely to be returned to their families than dogs without them. For cats, the statistic is even more dramatic: those with microchips were 2000 percent more likely to be returned home.
This is why the team at Native Palm Animal Hospital considers HomeAgain microchip pet IDs a fundamental way to protect your pet and an important part of responsible pet ownership. Each microchip registers the animal with a unique identification number, which is filed in a database with your contact information. The contact information can be updated anytime, and it is important 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, and at veterinary hospitals in the U.S. and in many foreign countries as well.
HomeAgain membership offers additional benefits such as proactive pet recovery and free access to ASPCA Poison Control. HomeAgain also comes with a number of very useful services to pet owners such as their National Pet Recovery Database, Lost Pet Specialists, Rapid Lost Pet Alerts, Lost Pet Medical Insurance, Travel Assistance for Found Pets, and more.
This safe, reliable, and permanent pet identification takes less than 10 seconds to implant and can save you and your pet days, weeks, or more of fear and anguish.
Our Veterinary Pharmacy: Convenience and Accuracy
As the prescribing veterinarian for your pet's medications, we are able to ensure there is a direct link between the exam room and our pharmacy. This means your pet will receive the right medication, at the right dose, in the right form as quickly as possible. We will also be able to easily guide you on the medication's use as well as monitor its effectiveness.
We maintain a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals, vitamins, shampoos, flea and tick control products, and heartworm preventatives to meet the needs of your pet. We also carry a full line of prescription diets. Ensuring that you have convenient and timely access to competitively priced medications and other important pet care products is an important aspect of our veterinary practice. Refills are easy, too. Simply give us a call.
End-of-Life Planning: Compassion When You Need it Most
For many pet owners, even thinking about their pet's final days is difficult and emotional. Our animals are a part of our family. It is this strong bond, born from years of loyal companionship, that makes this time particularly hard to bear.
We encourage you to talk with our veterinary healthcare team about these issues before they become an urgent matter. Find out about your options, including our crematory and burial services, make some key decisions ahead of time, and ask us to add this information to your pet's record. Taking the time to plan, as challenging as it may be, will lessen the pain and stress for you and your pet.
To provide you with the most comprehensive veterinary care possible, we also offer at-home euthanasia on a case-by-case basis. Simply, there are times when it is best that you and your pet remain at home where you both are most relaxed and comfortable and we come to you. Being at home, surrounded by loving and familiar faces, is a comfort to you and your pet and an important aspect of our services.
Whatever you choose, all of us at Native Palm Animal Hospital will do our best to help you prepare for these important issues with the compassion and sensitivity they require.
