Microchipping for Your Pet
A lost pet is a frightening situation with often devastating consequences. This is why the team at Manalapan Animal Clinic & Hospital considers HomeAgain microchip lost pet IDs a fundamental way to protect your pet and an important part of responsible pet ownership. Each microchip registers the animal with a unique identification number, which is filed in a database with your contact information. The contact information can be updated any time, and it is important to remember to do so whenever your information changes. If your pet is lost, the microchip can be scanned by animal control officers, at shelters, and at veterinary hospitals in the U.S. and in many foreign countries.
HomeAgain membership offers additional benefits such as proactive pet recovery and free access to ASPCA Poison Control. HomeAgain also comes with a number of services useful to pet owners such as their National Pet Recovery Database, Lost Pet Specialists, Rapid Lost Pet Alerts, Lost Pet Medical Insurance, Travel Assistance for Found Pets, and more.
This safe, reliable and permanent pet identification takes less than 10 seconds to implant and can save you and your pet days, weeks or more of fear and anguish from being lost.
Your Veterinary Pharmacy
Our commitment to your pet's health is also reflected in our fully-stocked in-house pharmacy. When it comes to prescription medications, accurate dosage and administration is of the utmost importance. As your pet's prescribing veterinarian, you can trust that when you fill prescriptions at our pharmacy your pet will receive the right medication, at the right dose, in the right form as quickly as possible. To make administration as easy as possible, we can also add an appetizing flavor such as chicken, tuna, maple syrup, bacon, sardine and strawberry (a favorite with guinea pigs) to your pet's medication.
We will also provide you detailed instructions on the medication's use, discuss any side effects or interactions and even give your pet the first dose if possible. You can feel confident all the medications we dispense were obtained from safe, reliable sources and stored under the right conditions. We buy our medications directly from the manufacturer and not from third-party sources such as internet pharmacies.
Ensuring you have convenient, timely access to competitively priced medications and other pet care products is an important aspect of our veterinary practice. Refills are easy, too. Simply give us a call at (732) 536-1888 or request a refill online.
End-of-Life Planning
For many pet owners, even thinking about their pet's final days is difficult and emotional. Our pets are a part of our family. It is this strong bond, born from years of loyal companionship, that makes this time particularly hard to bear.
We encourage you to talk with our veterinary healthcare team about these issues before they become an urgent matter. Find out about your options, make key decisions ahead of time and ask us to add this information to your pet's record. Taking the time to plan, as challenging as it may be, will lessen the pain and stress for you and your pet.
In the days, weeks, or months leading up to your pet's final day, you can rely on our veterinary team to provide you with the information you need to make informed choices. All of us at Manalapan Animal Clinic & Hospital will do our best to help you prepare for these important issues with the compassion and sensitivity they require. In the event that your family memeber is uncomfortable, we can also discuss pain medication options.
