For pet owners, there isn't much more terrifying than their animal companion going missing. They will do everything they can to keep their pet safe, but sometimes instincts take over and their animal has taken off before they even notice. Luckily, microchip technology has saved many pets, and kept their owners from constantly fearing the worst. Now, a number of DFW animal shelters will be offering free pet microchips this weekend.
In celebration of National Pet ID Week, animal shelters all over North Texas will be offering free microchips. On Saturday, pet owners will be able to stop by any other these shelters to get their pet chipped. Once chipped, the animal can be tracked using scanner that will share the owner's contact information.
According to NBC DFW, Getting a pet microchipped is a quick, one-time procedure. The microchip is inserted under the skin using a needle, and after that all the owner has to do is register their pet. Here are all the shelters that will offer free microchips this weekend.
