Vaccines & Microchips

FixNation’s Vaccine and Microchip clinic is cancelled due to Covid-19 until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience. 

Vaccinations are the cornerstone of preventive health and can protect people and their pets for life from illnesses or death. Vaccination is one of the best ways to prepare dogs’ and cats’ immune systems to stop diseases, and for the vast majority of pets, the benefits of vaccinating far outweigh the risks.

Vaccinations can prevent many illnesses, helping you avoid costly treatments for diseases. Vaccinations also prevent diseases that can be passed between animals and also from animals to people, and those prevalent in wildlife, such as rabies and distemper, which can infect unvaccinated pets.

Microchips not only help people find their lost pets, but they have also helped shelters return animals to their rightful owners more quickly. In addition to providing relief for the pet owner, locating owners more efficiently helps the shelter prevent overcrowding and reduce stress levels for all the animals. 

The biggest benefit of investing in a microchip for your dog or cat is that you increase the chances of reuniting with your pet in the event that you are separated. Thousands of pets will end up in shelters or rescues each year because they are lost, and only about 15 percent of those pets are reunited with their original owners. Dogs with microchips were reunited with their owners about 52.2 percent of the time. Microchipping dogs and cats increases the likelihood that you will be able to bring your pet back home, because animal care organizations read what information is on a pet chip to identify who the animal belongs to. Once the organization retrieves your contact information, they can get in touch with you and reunite you with your beloved friend.
