Pet microchipping offered monthly in Ocean View
Hawaii Island Humane Society has begun holding a monthly microchip clinic on the first Saturday of each month at the Ocean View Saturday Market. A clinic is scheduled from 9 a.m. to noon this Saturday. Cost for the microchipping is $10 per pet. Registration for future free spay neuter appointments will also be available.
Microchipping is permanent pet identification using a safe, simple injection of a microchip beneath the surface of the pet’s skin and between the shoulder blades. Microchipping is similar to a routine shot and no anesthetic is required. The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and is encoded with a unique identification number.
