Cat parents are no strangers to cleaning up puke. Cats experience digestive upset from time to time, so it’s usually nothing to worry about. But vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss and appetite changes are general symptoms that could apply to any number of health problems. Not least among them are inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and intestinal lymphoma.

Technology is constantly evolving, giving owners more reliable ways to protect their pets. You don’t have to depend solely on collar tags anymore. Microchips give loving pet parents the best chance of reuniting with their fur babies. These tiny electronic devices are safe, painless and completely foolproof. There’s no reason not to microchip your pet!
