S*x determination in birds is not quite as clear as scientists once thought, according to a new study that finds a higher than expected rate of “s*x reversal,” meaning the animal has the genetics of one s*x, but its physical features don’t match. https://bit.ly/4oMH0ED

We are so happy that Bam Bam is home. His microchip helped get him home.

Microchips provide a permanent, reliable way to identify and retrieve a lost or stolen pet, significantly increasing the chances of reunion. Studies show microchipped pets are returned home at a much higher rate than those without chips.

If you do not know if you pet has a microchip, we can easily scan your pet to check for the presence of a microchip and provide you with the information for registration. If no microchip was found we can schedule an appointment to have a microchip placed.

If you have questions whether your pet is microchipped, please call us at 847-647-9325.

We are overjoyed that Bam Bam is home!!!!! 💗💗💗🙌🏻🦮🐾🐕

Proven benefits of enrichment: Foraging

Foraging enrichment has been shown to increase activity levels and reduce stereotypic/abnormal behaviors in birds.
