The vet able to relive the number from the chip which allow me for Ava registeration?

Yes, can still register for a dog license from Ava. The charges are available on their website.

Your doggy microchip, like Arowana, visible upon scanning. Just ask them to do a simple health checkup.

thanks, gotten the chip nos. however as i google av page, it is $90 yearly for unsterilised dog and $15 for a sterilised dog. Hence like to ask, to sterilised a small dog is a safe procedure? any effect on the dog after the opp? thanks

older = higher risk.
There's alot of controversial regarding sterilization.
But any preexisting issues (skin problem, hormone eg tyroid) would likely be magnified several times after .
Weight gain is also another common problem.

Shouldn't be a problem (I think).
Dob just key in a rough estimate.

I'm using revolution for my dog too...but i seems to recall that Revolution kills fleas and ticks only after they have bitten your dog thus it doesn't repel or prevent them from bitting or clinging onto your dog.

There is another type of spray that helps to prevent fleas and ticks.

Just my 2 cents.

all those spot on, chews is confirm going into pet bloodstream to kill only after being bitten.

Sprays wise.. the most common one should be those citronella sprays.
Citronella, Lavender, Neem are some of the more commonly used ones.

Prevention stuff are useless when u are fighting those buggers who have entered your place... trust me

Not sure about other products... but K9 Advantix II does repels fleas, flies, lice, ticks & mosquitoes.

Hmm....
There's no existing health problem right?
There are two school of thoughts.

It's like cutting away the breast to prevent breast cancer....
