Microchipping is a simple, safe and quick procedure. The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and is implanted under the skin by a veterinarian. It takes only minutes and lasts a lifetime. If your pet becomes lost and is transported to a clinic or shelter, they can scan your pet for a chip and get the information to contact you. We at Simcoe Animal Hospital believe microchipping is important and feel that every animal should be chipped for their own safety.
If you have any questions or concerns about microchipping, please feel free to give us a call at 226-894-3253.

Today's #TrainingTipTuesday is all about ensuring a smooth litter training journey for your kittens! Let's make sure those tiny paws are on the right track with some helpful tips!
1️⃣ Choose the right litter: Opt for a kitten-friendly, unscented litter. Cats can be picky! 2️⃣ Place the litter box strategically: Set it up in a quiet, easily accessible spot. Cats appreciate their privacy. 3️⃣ Show them the way: Gently place your kitten in the litter box after meals and naps. Encourage exploration! 4️⃣ Be consistent: Stick to a routine. Regular meal times often lead to regular bathroom breaks. 5️⃣ Positive reinforcement: Praise and treats go a long way! Celebrate successful litter box visits with love and rewards. 6️⃣ Number of litter boxes: Ensure you have one more litter box than the number of cats. For example, if you have two cats, provide three litter boxes. Share your kitten's litter training triumphs in the comments!
Let's celebrate those little victories together. . . . #TrainingTipTuesday #SimcoeVeterinaryHospital #KittenTraining
