Cairns pets injured, killed and lost after escaping yards

Cairns Vets regularly see pets which have been injured while roaming the streets after escaping from their yard: today we saw a dog with a broken leg.  While this will be expensive, he should survive, and it could be worse.  On one occasion we had an owner lose two dogs in one day: both were seperately hit by cars and killed or euthanased due to their injuries.  Make sure your pet is kept in an escape proof enclosure, and that they are microchipped, tagged and registered.  You can have your pet microchipped (or have the chip read) at any of our clinics, at Aeroglen, Gordonvale or Cairns Vet Clinic on Pease St.  Ph 4032 9999 for an appointment.
