On #WorldMosquitoDay and in continuation of National Immunization Awareness Month, we’d like to remind animal owners to protect against mosquito-borne illnesses, such as heartworm disease, West Nile Virus, and others, by keeping their animals up to date on vaccinations and using preventative medications. Be sure to talk to your veterinarian if you have any questions!

Meet Max, a dog who has a family that loves him. When Max becomes lost, it's his microchip to the rescue! Today is Check the Chip Day, where we remind pet owners to check and update their pet's microchip registration information. Find out more at https://lnkd.in/gH44kNUR.

On #CheckTheChipDay, we're sharing a few important reminders on the importance of microchips - such as: ➡ 1 in 3 family pets will get lost ➡ Microchipped dogs are more than twice as likely to be returned to their owners and microchipped cats are more than 20 times as likely to be returned to their owners And remember - while microchips greatly increase the chances that pets will be reunited with their families if they are lost or stolen…a microchip only works if its registration information is accurate. Visit avma.org/CheckTheChip to learn more.
