Rabies Clinic & Microchip Event sponsored by Friends of the Mobile Animal Shelter, Dr. Ann Branch, & B&B Pet Stop
MICROCHIP:   $20.00 per pet  ($18.00 for VIP)
RABIES VACCINE:   $10.00 per pet

Microchip is inserted under the skin between the shoulder blades. Rescue groups nationwide can scan the pet, call the database, and contact the owner. This is a PERMANENT form of identification with a unique number that can't be altered. CASH ONLY!
     Here's how it's done: An identifying microchip is inserted under the skin (between the shoulder blades) by a trained professional.  If your pet is lost, animal rescue personnel nationwide can "scan" your pet and easily contact you.  The microchip is about the size of a piece of rice; small enough to fit inside a hypodermic needle. Injecting the microchip is just like any other injection or vaccination.  It causes very little discomfort and anesthesia is not required or recommended.  It's all over in a few seconds!
     Each microchip has a unique number.  A radio signal is used to read this number through the skin of the pet.  Scanners are provided free to shelters and animal rescue groups.  Once your pet is micro-chipped, you must register with the microchip tracking service and keep your contact information current in the database.  That way if your pet is lost, the rescue group can scan your pet, contact the database and you will be contacted immediately!  (Dr. Branch uses "24 Pet Watch" microchips.  There is NO fee to be listed in the database and NO fee when the information is changed.)
     Collars and tags are still a great way to identify your pet, especially in your local neighborhood - but they can be lost or worn through.  A microchip provides a permanent form of identification with a unique number that cannot be altered. 
Don't miss this incredible opportunity to protect and identify your pets.

Summer Safety for Your Dog
Round-Up for Charity
Featured Article
     While summer is great for dogs, giving them more time outside and often much more exercise, summer activities bring risks, too.  Here are 8 easy tips to ensure a safe and happy pet this summer:
  • Stay up-to-date on flea medication.  Your pet should not be outdoors without proper protection.
  • Use proper restraints when traveling by car.  Accidents can prove seriously dangerous-and often fatal-to unrestrained pets.
  • If you chain or pen your dog during the summer, make sure there is adequate shade and water.
  • Do NOT leave your pet in the car.  Cracking a window open will not prevent temperatures from rising to unbearable degrees-it's cruel and could be fatal.
  • Bring water when you travel with your pet.  The heat and excitement of car travel and outdoor play leaves pets thirsty and exhausted-they need plenty of water to stay hydrated.
  • Avoid walking or playing on very hot blacktop or pavement.  Your pet's paw-pads are sensitive-don't risk burning them.
  • Not all dogs can swim-make sure to keep pool areas secure and watch your pet closely while in the water.  Limit swimming time, too, as exhaustion can lead to drowning.
  • Dogs just can't handle the heat as well as humans - even mild temperatures can put your pet at risk for heat stroke.  Make sure you can recognize heatstroke symptoms: frantic, raspy, or excessive panting; thick saliva and drooling; sluggishness; unresponsiveness; possible vomiting.
ROUND-UP FOR CHARITY
B&B Pet Stop is raising thousands of dollars for local charities.  We're doing this through an extraordinary feature of our cash register software that prompts the cashiers to invite customers to "round-up" to the next dollar and make a donation to a particular charity. 
 
"To our great delight, we've found that MOST of our customers enthusiastically say "yes" since it is ALWAYS less than a dollar" explains Sally Adams Trufant, General Manager at B&B Pet Stop.

 
So far this month, you have donated $959.08 to the GREYHOUND PETS OF AMERICA, SOUTH ALABAMA CHAPTER
 
Greyhound Pets of America is a tax-exempt, non-profit corporation founded in 1987 for the purpose of finding homes for ex-racing greyhounds and educating the public on the suitability and availability of greyhounds as pets. Greyhound Pets of America is the largest non-profit greyhound adoption group, and since it opened its doors in 1987 has adopted over 80,000 greyhounds into loving homes.
