Microchips

Microchips can help your lost pet find its way home. The universal product that we use is the AKC microchip. The chip is injected into the scruff of your pet between the shoulder blades. This injection is no more uncomfortable than any other injection or vaccine. As an option, we offer microchipping at the time your pet is under anesthesia. After the purchase of your pet’s microchip, a one time registration fee is required. You can do this by mail or online.

Health Certificates

Health certificates are often required by airlines when taking your pet on an airplane trip to another state. Your pet will be examined by a doctor and if it is considered safe to travel, a special set of forms will be filled out and signed. It is important to check with your airline for specific travel requirements and timelines. Please have your destination address available when scheduling your pet’s appointment for their Health Certificate.

Our office cannot do International Health Certificates at this time.

I brought my Russian tortoise in because he has been lethargic, swollen and won’t eat. Everyone was super caring and even though I didn’t receive the greatest news, I felt that Dr. Smith and everyone else really cared about my Russian tortoise and me. I have already recommended Moorpark Veterinary Hospital to many family and friends who have pets. Thank you again for caring.
