Indian Walk Veterinary Center is no ordinary animal care
facility. Look around our web site and find out why.
Since 1990, Indian
Walk Veterinary Center has been serving the pets of Bucks County, Pennsylvania
and surrounding areas. Some
of our patients come from as far away as northern
New Jersey and Maryland.
We care for a wide
array of animals, including dogs, cats, ferrets, snakes, lizards and other
reptiles, rabbits and rodents, birds, sheep, goats and the occasional pig.
We believe that every
pet deserves our best efforts. We consider the challenge of treating exotic pets
an opportunity to expand our knowledge, to help our patients, and to educate our
clients in their care.
You Never Know Whom
You'll Meet at IWVC!
Our Mission:
To
celebrate the delight of the
human-animal bond by educating and encouraging people to be considerate
caretakers of their animal companions.
To provide a high standard of technical expertise in an atmosphere of
thoughtful concern for our patients and their families

Thought for the
Day:
June
is National Microchip Month!
1
in 3 pets will become lost during its lifetime.
According to the
American Humane association only
about 15% of lost dogs and less than 2% of lost cats ever find their way
back home.
Over
4 million pets are euthanized
every year, including
lost pets whose families
weren't found in time.
Having your pet
microchipped significantly increases your chances of being reunited.
A microchip is a
tiny transponder the size of a grain
of uncooked
rice. It is implanted
under the pet's skin using a sterile
injector similar to a
vaccination. Most pets react very little if at all to the injection.
The chip is impossible to remove, so it stays with the pet always, cutting
down on the incidence of stolen pets.
The
chip is not a locating device. Each transponder stores a unique
identification number that
can be read through the skin by a scanner emitting low-frequency radio
waves. The frequency is
picked up by a tiny antenna
in the transponder. The
number is retrieved, decoded, and displayed in the scanner readout window.
Most veterinary hospitals and shelters have a scanning device.
No personal
information is stored or displayed on the chip. The identification number is
stored on a national database. You have to enroll and give your contact
information so your name can be matched with the number scanned on your
missing pet.
At Indian Walk
Veterinary Center we have safely implanted many hundreds of microchips.
We have also had the great pleasure of participating in the safe return of
several pets who were identified by scanning. Our staff will be happy to
discuss with you the benefits of microchipping ALL of your pets: dogs, cats,
birds, reptiles and small mammals.
