The Ames Animal Shelter will hold its sixth microchip clinic for Ames dog and cat owners from 8 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 18, at the Ames Water Plant, 1800 E. 13th St. Additionally, the Ames Animal Shelter will begin providing microchipping service to Ames residents on a bi-weekly basis beginning in May.
Microchip clinics are drive-up events. Owners remain in their vehicle while animals are transported to the microchip implant stations and back to the vehicle. The cost to microchip a cat or dog is $15, which includes lifetime registration. Participants must be Ames residents, and there is a limit of three animals per address. Those interested should submit an appointment request at: www.CityOfAmes.org/Microchip.
Microchipping a pet is a permanent form of identification that injects a small microchip under the animal’s skin. Unlike a collar or tags, microchips cannot be lost or removed.
