Microchipping Pets and Lost Pet Services in Davie
Davie pet owners…microchipping your pet is one of the best ways to ensure that you and your pet will be reunited if he or she gets lost or injured away from home. Having a microchip ID implanted in your pet is an inexpensive way to let animal control, rescue shelters and veterinarians know who to call if your pet winds up in their care.
The microchip is a small device that is encoded with a unique number that can be used to identify your pet and you as the owner. The chip is injected between the animal's shoulders in much the same way a shot is administered. It's a quick, almost no pain, one time process that prevents your dog from having an "identity crisis" should he or she ever wander from home.
Here is how it works. Once the chip has been implanted, the owner registers the dog's name and owner's name and contact information with the company that manufacturers the chip. At DPC Veterinary Hospital that company is HomeAgain which we feel offers the best value and most comprehensive and useful service.
If your pet becomes lost and ends up at a shelter or vet, a quick scan of its shoulders will reveal the chip and the ID number. A quick check of HomeAgain's database will reveal the pet's name and the owner's contact info.
Microchipping – It's Quick, Inexpensive and Important
Our veterinarians know how important microchipping pets is and that's why they selected a program that provides more than just the chip and registry. Our HomeAgain program also provides:
- An advanced anti-migration chip that won't slip from between the shoulders
- A lost pet network and rapid lost pet alerts
- Create personalized "lost pet" posters you can send to shelters and vets
- $3000 worth of medical coverage if your pet is injured while lost
- $500 in travel expense to bring your pet home
At DPC we are open 7 days per week and we can provide microchipping service on a walk in or appointment basis. Our technician can administer the chip and our front office staff will assist you in registering the pet right in the office.
Don't wait to have this important safety feature implanted in your pet. Call or visit us in Davie today.

Pet Laser Therapy – The Magic of Light Energy
The Companion Therapy Laser™ used at DPC is a small device connected to a handheld wand that the vet or technician "shines" on the area of the pet being treated. The "dosage" of laser energy is determined by the weight, color of skin, color of hair/fur and the ailment being treated. Your pet will feel a soothing warmth that relaxes pets to the point that some dogs will actually doze off.
The laser sends light energy to deep tissue in the treated area where it is absorbed at the cellular level. This absorbed light energy triggers a chemical action that encourages the repair of damaged cells and the creation of new cells. This process also releases endorphins that account for the relaxed state and immediate pain relief experienced by most pets.
There are no special "pre-treatment" or "post-treatment requirements. The therapy is quick, affordable, and provides almost immediate effects.
If you think that laser therapy could be beneficial for your pet's arthritis or other condition, give us a call at DPC today and arrange for an evaluation by one of our great vets!
