Free Microchipping at Domestic Animal Shelter

It’s National Chip Your Pet Month and Collier County Domestic Animal Shelter (DAS) is offering FREE microchipping for your pet(s) through May 31 for Collier County residents.  Each year, approximately 10 million pets are lost, with millions ending up in animal shelters. Only 15% of dogs and 2% of cats in these shelters without microchips are reunited with their owners.

The goal of Chip Your Pet Month is to encourage pet owners to microchip their furry friends so that they can be quickly found and returned to their owners if lost. The microchips are placed beneath the pet’s skin, typically between the shoulders. Veterinary offices or animal shelters can use the contact information on these implants and contact the owner in case you lose your pets. It’s important to note that microchips aren’t a GPS device. You won’t be able to track your dog’s location if lost.
