Nevada SPCA Offers $5 Microchipping to Help Pet Owners Meet New County Law
Nevada SPCA offers $5 pet microchipping every Wednesday to comply with the new Clark County law requiring microchips for dogs and cats.
As Clark County prepares to implement mandatory microchipping for pets, a local animal welfare organization is stepping up to make compliance more affordable for pet owners. The Nevada SPCA’s new initiative aims to help residents meet the upcoming requirements while ensuring their pets can be safely identified and returned home if lost.
New $5 microchipping program makes pet safety accessible
Starting this March, the Nevada SPCA will offer microchipping services for just $5 every Wednesday afternoon, providing a cost-effective solution for pet owners to comply with Clark County’s new regulations. The weekly service will be available from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., with appointments opening for scheduling beginning Wednesday, March 5.
The program comes in direct response to Clark County’s newly enacted law requiring all cats and dogs over four months old to have microchips with current registration. Nevada SPCA Executive Director Lori Heeren emphasizes the importance of making these services accessible, telling KTNV Nevada, “While it’s important to have laws that protect our pets like microchipping, it’s even more important to have resources so that people can afford to abide by the law and Nevada SPCA is committed to providing those resources to help both pets and people in our community.”
How to participate in the microchipping program
Pet owners interested in taking advantage of this affordable microchipping service can schedule their appointments through the Nevada SPCA’s online booking system. Appointments will be available exclusively on Wednesdays, and owners can book their slots by visiting the organization’s official website.
This initiative represents a significant opportunity for Clark County residents to ensure their pets are properly identified and protected while complying with the new regulations before they take effect later this year.
