Low-Cost Microchipping Events

Microchipping your pet is one of the best ways to ensure that if your pet becomes lost, he or she can be returned to you.

Most Mayor's Alliance/Maddie's Pet Adoption Festivals feature a low-cost microchipping clinic where you can have your dog(s) or cat(s) microchipped for only $25 each. Also, the Mayor's Alliance stages other low-cost microchipping clinics at other events throughout the year.
