Pet Micro-chipping clinic August 14th

07/25/2016

The Animal Protection Department of the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke is pleased to announce a Micro-Chipping Clinic being held on Sunday, August 14th from 9am to noon at the Public Safety Unit, located near the Services Complex.

A veterinary technician will be on-site to perform the service at a cost of $40. Appointments are preferred. However, walk-ins are welcome. Each appointment will require a $20 deposit to be paid in-person at Public Safety.

Pet owner’s contact information is stored on a micro-chip, which is the size of a grain of rice, which is then inserted under the skin between the pet’s shoulder blades. Please note, the micro-chip is not a GPS for your pet.

It is standard procedure of veterinarians and animal protection officers to check for these micro-chips. Pets that are micro-chipped generally have a higher return rate than those that are not.

For further information or questions, please contact Deidra Whyte at the Animal Protection Department by telephone at (450) 632-0635.
