As I adopted this dog, I been pushing the owner to give me the health book but today was told by the ex owner that the health book was lost and it is not registered. So without health book, can I register the dog with Ava? Was told it is micro chip too, so if I bring to the vet. 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.

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.

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

Just my 2 cents.
