A microchip can be the difference between a missing pet and a safe return home!

It is quick, affordable, and no larger than a grain of rice. Once implanted, a microchip provides permanent identification that cannot fall off or wear out. Collars and tags can be removed, but a chip stays with your pet.

Pets with microchips are over twice as likely to be reunited with their owners compared to those without. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, 52.2 % of microchipped dogs were returned to their owners compared to just 21.9 % of unchipped dogs, while 38.5 % of microchipped cats were reunited versus only 1.8 % of unchipped cats.

We offer microchipping during regular appointments. It is a simple procedure that can provide peace of mind for life.

Now is a great time to take this small step toward your pet’s safety.

Last week, I had the opportunity to work with three groups of high school students at Bowling Green State University’s Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science Camp. I gave a hands-on demo as part of their in-person summer program and got to talk with students interested in becoming veterinarians, vet techs, and more.

This camp does a great job exposing students to all the possibilities within animal science, and it was a privilege to be part of it. These kids asked thoughtful questions and jumped right into the experience.

Sharing a few photos from the day in case you're curious what veterinary education looks like behind the scenes.

Just like people, animals need extra water during high-temperature days. Dehydration can lead to serious health concerns, especially for animals who spend time outdoors.

Things to watch for:
-Low energy or unusual behavior
-Dry nose and gums
-Excessive panting or drooling
-Sunken eyes or loose skin

A few simple ways to help your pets and horses stay hydrated:
-Keep fresh, cool water available at all times
-Drop a few ice cubes in their bowl or offer pet-safe frozen treats
-Bring water on walks, trips, or rides
-Limit outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day

Cats, dogs, and horses all need consistent access to water. If you notice a change in drinking habits or see signs of heat stress, reach out. Heat-related illness can progress quickly.

Veterinary assistants are often the unsung heroes in animal care. They are the first to comfort a nervous pet, the last to clean up after a busy day, and the steady presence through each appointment.

None of what we do at Oliver Mobile Veterinary Services happens without a great support team.

Veterinary Assistant Week runs from July 20 through 26. It is the perfect time to say thank you to the people who help keep animals healthy and calm during every visit.

We love working with clients to keep your animals healthy, comfortable, and safe whether they’re relaxing on your couch or grazing in your pasture.

Here are a few ways to help us make each visit as smooth as possible:
-For dogs and cats, have them in a safe, contained space when we arrive. For cats, prepare a carrier or small room. For dogs, keep a leash ready.
-For horses, have them haltered and ready in a stall, paddock, or small pen. Make sure they’re reasonably clean and dry so we can examine them safely.
-Have any medical records, notes, or details about recent changes in your animal’s health ready. If they’ve been seen at another clinic, let us know so we can help gather records ahead of time.
-If someone else will be present during the appointment, be sure they know your animal’s medical history, habits, and any concerns you have. Stay available by phone if possible.
-Have any medications or supplements on hand so we can confirm dosages and instructions.
-Share your observations and concerns—you know your animals better than anyone. Let us know what you’ve noticed and what you want to discuss.
-Ask questions about anything you don’t understand. We’re here to help you feel confident in your animal’s care.
-Request handouts, guides, or reputable online resources on topics you’d like to learn more about.
-Follow through with any care plans or recommendations we create together.

Our goal is the same as yours; keeping your animals healthy, comfortable, and thriving.

National Pet Fire Safety Day is July 15! House fires touch roughly 500,000 pets each year and some begin when a curious cat tips a candle or a dog nudges a stove k**b. A few simple safeguards can make a big difference.

Pet-fire-safety checklist
-Extinguish candles and switch off stove tops before you leave a room.
-Tuck away electrical cords and add k**b covers on ranges.
-Test smoke detectors every month.
-When you head out, keep pets in a room close to an outside door.
-Add a pet-alert sticker to a front window. You can request a free kit from the ASPCA here: https://secure.aspca.org/take-action/pet-safety-pack
-Store leashes, carriers, and halters by each exit for quick access.
-Walk through a fire-escape plan with the whole family and practice loading pets.
-Make sure every companion is microchipped.

A bat in Lucas County has tested positive for rabies, prompting a public health alert. Rabies is a deadly virus that can affect pets and people, and it’s more common in wild animals like bats, raccoons, and skunks—especially in the summer months.

Why Rabies Vaccination Matters – Even for Indoor Pets
Many people assume indoor pets are safe, but bats can easily get into homes, especially attics or open windows. Just one scratch or bite could expose your cat or dog to rabies. The virus is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, but the vaccine is highly effective and legally required for dogs and recommended for cats and horses.

Stay Protected
✔ Keep rabies vaccines up to date
✔ Be alert for unusual animal behavior
✔ Avoid contact with wild animals, especially bats

📞 Call 419-345-1093 or visit olivermobilevet.com to schedule a visit or check your pet’s vaccination status.

Here is a brochure on rabies from the Lucas County Health Department:https://lucascountyhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/RabiesBrochure-1.pdf

Warm weather might feel great to us, but it can be dangerous, even deadly, for pets if we’re not careful. Whether you're out walking your pup or relaxing in the backyard, here are a few warm weather tips to help keep them safe:

-Make sure your pet has constant access to fresh water and shade
-Never leave your pet in a parked car even with windows cracked
-Avoid walking on hot pavement as it can burn paw pads
-Stick to early mornings or evenings for walks or runs
-Ask your vet if your pet could benefit from a summer haircut
-Keep fertilizers, mulch (especially cocoa mulch), and pest control products out of reach
-Watch for signs of heat stress: panting, restlessness, drooling, unsteady walking, or collapse

Fourth of July Pet Safety Tips 🇺🇸🐾

Fireworks, BBQs, and summer heat can be a blast for us—but they can be really stressful and even dangerous for our pets.

If you’re celebrating, here are a few quick things to keep in mind:
✅ Make sure your pet’s ID tags are current
✅ Double check microchip info is up to date
✅ Keep pets indoors during fireworks—don’t take them to parties or parades
✅ Create a safe space (crate or quiet room) where they can feel secure
✅ Skip the table scraps—some foods can be toxic
✅ Keep glow sticks, sparklers, and BBQ tools out of reach
✅ Make sure they have shade, fresh water, and never leave them in a car
✅ If your pet has anxiety, talk to your vet now about meds or calming strategies

After the fun: scan your yard for fireworks debris, food scraps, or anything unsafe before letting pets back outside.

Is Your Pet First Aid Kit Ready?

Life happens fast! Your dog gets into something they shouldn’t, your cat takes a tumble, or your pet overheats in the summer sun. Having a pet-specific first aid kit can help you stay calm and take action while you get to a vet.

Here are a few essentials to include:
📌 Your vet’s contact info & a nearby emergency clinic
📌 Gauze, non-stick bandages, adhesive tape
📌 Muzzle or towel for safe handling
📌 Digital thermometer
📌 Saline solution for eyes and wounds
📌 Gloves, tweezers, small flashlight
📌 Hydrogen peroxide (only if your vet says to use it)
📌 Copy of your pet’s medical history
📌 Activated charcoal or sterile jelly (only under vet instruction)

⚠️ First aid is not a substitute for vet care—but it can buy you time in an emergency.
