Birthday Parties for Pets

7/29/2025

0 Comments

 
Pets can party too! We love how Gizmo's mom celebrated his first birthday. The chair cover, balloon, and cat-approved birthday breakfast were the perfect touches. She included Churro and some of his other favorite kitty treats. How do you celebrate your pet's birthday? We'd love to hear your answer in the comments. 

Gizmo was adopted from Entangled Cat Cafe in Watkinsville, GA almost a year ago by his furr-ever family. Gizmo then became a part of our Winterville Animal Clinic family in Athens, GA. We love watching him grow when he comes in for wellness visits!

How hot does your car get after 5 minutes after it's turned off? 10 minutes? 20 minutes? We tested this outside of our veterinarian clinic in Athens, GA. Temperatures above 80 degrees Farenheit can be deadly for your pets, quickly. It was only 88 degrees on the day we tested this, so not even one of the hottest days we've had recently! Check out this video to see why you should NEVER leave pets or children in a car alone or that has been turned off.

Microchipping Pets

7/18/2025

0 Comments

 
We recently asked our followers what they would like to ask our veterinarians about microchipping pets? The answers are in!

Q: If my pet is lost and someone finds it, how will they know they belong to me?
A: The person would have to take your pet to a veterinarian or animal shelter to be scanned. The microchip HAS to be registered. We insert the microchip but you HAVE to register it in order to be contacted when the microchip is scanned.

Q: How long does the microchip last?
A: FOREVER! But you MUST register the microchip after it’s inserted in order to link the ID number with the owner’s contact information!

Q: Do you need to update it if you move?
A: Yes! You need to update your pet’s microchip registration online if your address or phone number changes.

Q: Is there anything different when microchipping dogs vs. cats?
A: Nope!

Q: Are there things you have to renew? Like a membership or anything?
A: No membership! You just need to register the microchip after it is inserted AND update the registration online if any contact information changes. ​
