A microchip can only help if the information attached to it is current. AAHA’s free lookup tool allows shelters, veterinary hospitals, and pet owners to identify the registry associated with a microchip number, making it easier to reconnect lost pets with their families and verify that contact information is up to date.

Product recalls can happen without warning, making it difficult for pet owners to stay informed. The AVMA’s recall resource tracks pet food, treats, supplements, and other animal products that have been removed from the market due to safety concerns, helping you make informed decisions about the items you bring into your home.

Curious pets have a knack for getting into things they shouldn’t. If you suspect your pet has swallowed a medication, household product, toxic food, or poisonous plant, ASPCA Poison Control offers around-the-clock access to veterinary toxicology experts who can help determine the severity of the situation and recommend next steps.
