The San Diego Humane Society will offer free microchipping of pets brought into its four shelter locations with an appointment during the month of October, officials announced on Tuesday.
The"Chip n' Treat" campaign comes just before holiday season, which, while fun for humans, can be stressful and scary for pets, who are more likely to run away.
"In addition to having your pets wear a collar with a tag displaying your contact information, a microchip provides permanent, secure protection," a statement from SDHS reads."If your pet is found, they can be taken to a veterinarian or shelter — and sometimes even a local fire station or library — where they can be easily scanned and you will be contacted."
