We at Parker Vet Service strongly encourage pet owners to have their pets microchipped. Microchipping

is a simple and affordable way to keep your pet safe. Once a pet owner has made the decision to

microchip their pet and registered all the information online your pet is identifiable by just scanning the

chip at any authorized location. Remember even indoor pets can escape and get lost…..make sure you

“chipped” your pet to keep them safe.

Optional testing:

•  FeLV/FIV testing – Feline leukemia and Feline immunodeficiency virus are contagious, incurable diseases in cats. FeLV is easily passed from cat to cat through contact with saliva, urine, and respiratory secretions. Kittens can become infected with FeLV from mothers in the womb or in the first days of life. FIV is also infectious, but transmission is often a result of a fight or deep penetrating bite. Cats that spend time outdoors are at increased risk of exposure to these diseases. New cats being introduced to a new home should be tested before introductions to

prevent infection.

assured that all this can be avoided with proper preventive dental care.
