Low Cost Microchip Clinics

Upcoming Clinics:

At our clinic, we strive to keep costs low, and we achieve this by relying on volunteer vet clinics and volunteers. We have wrapped up our clinics for 2023 but will work on scheduling a date sometime in 2024. In the meantime, you can sign up for a waitlist, click the button to the right! Please be reminded that all pets must have up-to-date rabies vaccinations before attending the clinic, and we do ask for proof of this. See below for more information about our clinics.

REGISTRATION CLOSED However, you can sign up for the waitlist to be contacted when we plan another clinic – click the register button. Since our clinics are 100% volunteer run, it takes a lot of work and time to coordinate them.

We’re proud continue with our successful “fear-free environment”  for cats. We understand how stressful it can be for cats to attend the clinic, which is why have a separate room with Feliway set up. Feliway is a product that comforts and reassures cats in stressful situations. We encourage cat owner’s to cover their kennels with a towel prior to leaving home and while in the clinic.

At our microchip clinics, the safety of all pets and attendees is a top priority. Therefore, we kindly request that all dogs are kept on a leash and under your control, while all cats are secured in a pet carrier.

As a non-profit organization, we strive to keep our costs low for the community. Please note that refunds are not available, except in the event that your pet is found to already have a microchip on the day of the clinic. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us to maintain a safe and efficient environment for all pets and their owners.

FAQ:

My puppy or kitten is too young for rabies, what do I do? If your puppy or kitten is between the age of 8 weeks to 16 weeks we understand they are too young for a rabies vaccine and are exempt from this requirement. We do ask you provide us the date you plan to get them vaccinated for rabies on our online form.

Can my bird/bunny/rat be microchipped? Unfortunately, we can only offer microchips to dogs and cats.

Will the microchip hurt my pet? No, it shouldn’t feel more than a small pinch! We use “micro” microchips which are smaller than the standard microchip, this provides even less ouch factor for your pet.

Can I arrive early for my appointment? We ask that you arrive on time for your scheduled appointment. The appointment is quick and should take no longer than 15 minutes in total if everyone arrives for their scheduled time.
