In addition to performing thousands of spay and neuter surgeries each year, the veterinarian at the Penn Hills location also performs dental exams and cleanings, vaccinations, and microchip insertions in order to help keep pets happy and healthy.
Such a drastic increase in the likelihood that a lost pet will return is why an increasing number of owners choose to get a microchipinsertion for their pet.
Insertion of a microchipin every dog that leaves the shelter (adopted or reclaimed) along with an offer to chip all dogs in the community could go a long way towards ending euthanasia of stray dogs.
