Hermitage spay/neuter clinic to offer free microchips for pets in May
Tails of Hope, a nonprofit spay/neuter clinic in Hermitage is partnering up with 24 PetWatch to provide free microchips for pets to honor May as "Chip Your Pet Month."
"Chip Your Pet Month," is a holiday officially recognized by the American Kennel Club and acts as a reminder to have your pet microchipped as to increase the likelihood of finding your pet if it became lost.
This will be the third year the clinic will be giving out microchips. Over the past two years of holding this event, Tails of Hope have reported the administering of 159 free microchips.
These microchips are grain-sized electronic devices in which are the only permanent and reliable form of ID for pets who have been lost or stolen.
24 PetWatch is the largest database of lost pets and microchip registry in North America, with 30 million pets registered and over 2.2 million distributed annually.
Those interested in getting their pet microchipped can call 724-346-4673 to schedule an appointment with the clinic.
