Free Microchips for Pets Before July 4 Fireworks

Thinking about getting Fido microchipped?

For two days only, June 27-28, 2013, you can get your cat or dog microchipped for free at the Homeward Pet Dunmire Veterinary Clinic in Woodinville. 

Now is the perfect time to microchip your family cat or dog, Homeward Pet said in a news release. More pets go missing around the 4th of July than any other time of year, scared by noisy fireworks. According to national statistics, animal control officials across the country see a 30-60 percent increase in lost pets each year between July 4-6. In fact, July 5 is one of the busiest days of the year for many shelters.

A microchip is a permanent form of ID that can never be separated from your pet, and your pet’s best chance of being returned home safely should he or she ever become lost. It is smaller than a grain of rice and is injected under the animal’s skin between the shoulder blades. Each chip has a unique number and is registered in a national database with the owner’s name, address and contact information. Homeward Pet will include free registration of each microchip during this two-day event.

Homeward Pet Adoption Center is a non-profit, no-kill shelter serving the Greater Seattle area since 1990.
