About VIP PetCare

In January of 1995 VIP PetCare started offering pet lovers an alternate for their preventative veterinary care. VIP PetCare works with a variety of community partners, primarily pet and feed retail stores, to bring non-emergency veterinary clinics to communities across the country. Over the past eighteen years, VIP PetCare has grown from humble beginnings to become the premier provider of Community Veterinary Clinics in the country.

VIP PetCare offers comprehensive vaccines for dogs and cats, affordable vaccine packages, pet microchipping, standard blood and fecal testing, prescription flea and tick control, de-worming, and heartworm prevention at every walk-in community clinic. Many products are also available online or by phone for our existing clients. There is a state-licensed veterinarian supervising every Community Veterinary Clinic, and there is a board of full-time veterinarians that oversee all policies, protocols, and pricing for VIP PetCare services and products.

The goal of VIP PetCare is to improve the lives of pets and the people who love them. We strive to achieve this goal by treating your pet like a member of our family.

BARKCODE Pet Identification at Burton’s Total Pet

Barkcode and Burton's Total Pet

 

Once in awhile we find a product that we get excited about and BarkCode is one of them.  This tag is made of stainless steel and is fire coated with a Qr Code specific to each tag.  Your pet will wear this on his collar and if lost anyone can scan the code with their smartphone or look up the numeric code on their computer.
This is a great idea, and in some ways, a lot better than using a microchip under the skin for three reasons.
1.  When a pet is found not everyone has a scanner available
2.  If the person that finds the pet is a good Samaritan he/she may take him to the police or shelter. Not all police have the correct reader
3.  The tag can migrate away from the injection site and the scanner may not locate the signal.  It is not a bad idea to have both the tag and collar tag as a means of identification, but the BarkCode is an immediate fix for $15 to $17.
Another benefit is that if you move you can access the file that describes your pet with multiple contacts, medical information, etc.  You can also change the contacts via computer easily.  The radio tags are much more difficult to change information.
This is a very useful product that will save a lot of pets.
