Why Microchip Your Pet? Did you know 1 in 3 pets go missing in their lifetime? Chip Your Pet Month at Kimvet
This month at Kimvet, we celebrate Pet Microchipping Month. Why is it so important to microchip your furry companion? Microchipping is a simple and quick procedure that can make the difference between life and death for your pet. A microchip, which is the size of a grain of rice, is inserted under your animal’s skin and contains a unique identification number that can be scanned. This means that if your pet gets lost, any veterinarian or animal shelter can scan the chip and access your contact information, making it easier for them to return home. Additionally, in many places, microchipping is a legal requirement, and it is an effective way to prove ownership of your pet. So, if you haven’t done it yet, come to Kimvet and make sure your four-legged friend is protected!

For an extra challenge, freeze the stuffed Kong overnight, which will not only prolong the fun but also keep your dog engaged as they work to get to the delicious rewards inside.

Nutrition Guide For Dogs, Based On Your Pet’s Size
When it comes to feeding dogs, their size plays a crucial role in determining their nutritional needs. Small breeds, such as Chihuahuas and Pomeranians, typically require a diet that is higher in calories and protein relative to their body weight, as they have faster metabolisms and need more energy to sustain their activity levels.
