While these pet health resources don’t replace veterinary care, they can offer guidance and peace of mind when you need reliable information fast.
A microchip is an important form of permanent identification, but it is only useful when it can be connected to current contact information. The AAHA Microchip Registry Lookup can help identify which registry is associated with a microchip number, making it easier to find the appropriate registry and keep your pet’s information current.
Keeping track of recalls can be difficult when products are pulled from the market unexpectedly. The AVMA maintains information about recalls involving pet foods, treats, supplements, and other animal products so you can check for current safety concerns involving products your pet uses.
Pets can find their way into medications, household products, foods, plants, and other substances that may be harmful. If you believe your pet has been exposed to something toxic, ASPCA Poison Control provides 24/7 access to veterinary toxicology experts who can help assess the potential risk and guide you on what to do next.
Some pet emergencies require immediate attention outside of regular veterinary hours. If your pet experiences a serious medical problem when Colonial Animal Hospital is closed, seek care from the nearest emergency veterinary hospital.
