We Will Scan Lost Pets — Free
If you find a pet, bring them to us. We'll scan them for a microchip at no cost to help get them back home. A microchip is permanent identification that can reunite you with your pet — it never wears out and cannot fall off.
It only takes seconds. No appointment fee. No catch.

Microchip Implanting
A collar and ID tag can fall off — a microchip can't. SJB Animal Care Center offers microchip implanting as part of our preventative care services. It's a quick, routine procedure that gives your pet permanent identification for life.
Should your pet ever get lost, any veterinary clinic or shelter can scan the chip and connect them back to you — as long as your contact details are kept current.
- Permanent ID that can't be lost or removed
- Quick, routine implant by our veterinary team
- Readable at any clinic or shelter nationwide
- The single best way to recover a missing pet
Pet Safety Tips
Simple steps today can prevent a heartbreaking situation tomorrow. Here's how to keep your pet
safe and reduce the risk of them ever going missing.
-
Use the Right Gear
Use a properly fitted harness for dogs that pull, slip collars, or are escape artists. Cats should wear breakaway collars. The right gear makes all the difference.
-
Keep ID Up to Date
Keep ID tags on at all times and make sure they're readable. Keep your microchip registration current — update any change to your phone number or address.
-
Have Recent Photos
Keep recent photos of your pet saved. They're critical for creating flyers and posting online if your pet ever goes missing.
-
Mind the Storms
Be extra cautious during storms, fireworks, travel, boarding, or moving. These high-stress moments are when pets most often bolt.
-
Train & Practice Recall
Practice recall and basic training — it could save their life. Use leash safety at doors and gates, and never allow door dashing.
-
Secure the Yard
Never assume a fenced yard is escape-proof. Check often and secure weak spots before they become an opportunity to wander.
The Right Gear Makes a Difference
-
Fitted Harness
Be extra cautious during storms, fireworks, travel, boarding, or moving. These high-stress moments are when pets most often bolt.
-
Breakaway Cat Collar
Releases if caught on something to prevent choking. Always use breakaway collars for cats.
-
ID Tags
Be extra cautious during storms, fireworks, travel, boarding, or moving. These high-stress moments are when pets most often bolt.
Meet Diana Turner: Your Dog's New Favorite Person
Diana Turner has been grooming dogs professionally for 19+ years. She's worked with every breed, every temperament, and every coat type — from nervous rescue dogs getting their first real groom to show-quality breeds that need precision styling. Her approach is patient, deliberate, and focused entirely on the dog in front of her. She doesn't rush. She doesn't force. And she pays attention to details that less experienced groomers miss: the way a dog shifts weight to protect a sore paw, a subtle head tilt that signals ear discomfort, the difference between a dog that's nervous and one that's in pain.
Before joining SJB Pet Services, Diana built a loyal following across Jacksonville. Now, she brings that same skill and care to a facility where veterinary support is always within reach. Your dog isn't just getting groomed by someone good with clippers — they're being cared for by someone who genuinely understands animals.
What to Do If Your Pet Goes Missing
Step 1: Search Immediately
Walk or drive your neighborhood right away, calling their name. The sooner you start, the better.
Step 2: Alert Neighbors Quickly
Share a clear, recent photo and your contact information with everyone nearby.
Step 3: Post Online
Use local Facebook groups, Nextdoor, PawBoost, and other community pages to spread the word fast.
Step 4: Contact Shelters & Vets
Call local shelters and veterinary hospitals. Provide your pet's description, photo, and your contact info.
Step 5: Leave Familiar Scents Out
Place a blanket or bed near your door that can help guide them back home.
Do Not Chase
Fearful pets often run farther. Stay calm and create a safe space for them to return to you instead.
Step 6: Check Hiding Spots
Look under bushes, decks, wooded areas, retention ponds, and construction sites.
Step 7: Have Your Microchip Number Handy
You may need it when reporting your pet missing — keep it somewhere easy to find.
