Two great favors you can do for your pet are to get an ID tag and to have him or her microchipped.   Veterinary clinics and animal shelters can scan for a microchip.  There are two veterinary clinics in Grand Rapids, MI that are open 24/7, so if you find a pet afterhours please contact:

Blue Pearl Veterinary  (616) 284-5300

1425 Michigan Street NE, Suite F

Grand Rapids, MI 49503

or

Animal Emergency Hospital
3260 Plainfield Ave.
Grand Rapids, MI 49525

Phone: (616) 361-9911

 

It is very important to keep your pet’s microchip contact information up to date.  Home Again is a great place to register and update your contact information.
