Pet Microchip Clinic ... a Chip 'n' Dip Paw-ty!!

Chip 'n' Dip Paw-ty Microchip Clinic

Did you know that 1 in 3 pets will become lost at some point in their life? Or that less than 2% of lost cats and only 15-20% of lost dogs are returned to their parents?

Since April 13-19 is National Pet ID Week, Camp Bow Wow® is raising awareness about the importance of keeping your pet’s identification information up-to-date in order to keep them safe. You'll also increase the likelihood of a quick reunion if your pet gets lost by updating ID tags and getting a microchip.

Since microchips give lost pets the best chance of returning home, we’re hosting a Chip ‘n’ Dip Paw-ty Microchip Clinic! Helping Paws Animal Shelter will be providing microchips for your pet, plus we’ll have food, drinks, and PAW-some stuff for our two-legged and four-legged friends that attend!

Price of Microchip: $15.00
