Low-Cost Microchipping Clinics Bring Pet Security to the People
More and more pet-parents are discovering that microchipping is one of the best ways to ensure that if you become separated from your pet, he or she can be returned to you. (Click here for more details on the microchipping procedure.)
Over the next two months, New Yorkers will have several special opportunities to have their pets microchipped for only $25 each at Mayor's Alliance low-cost microchipping clinics.
