Do make sure favorite friend is still listed.

You may have heard that the microchip company "Save This Life" has gone out of business. While this does NOT affect any pets microchipped by Williamson County Animal Center (we have not used this company), it’s a great reminder to keep your pet’s microchip information updated!

If your pet ever gets lost, the contact info linked to their microchip is the #1 way you’ll be reunited. If you’ve moved or changed phone numbers, please make sure your pet’s microchip registration is up to date!

🐶 Not sure if your pet is microchipped? Your vet can scan them, or you can use our public microchip scanner located just outside our medical office door.

🔎 Need to check or update your pet’s microchip?
Use the AAHA microchip lookup tool or update it through a registration site. Some require fees, but others, like "Free Pet Chip Registry", do not.

🐾 Does your pet need a microchip?
We can microchip your dog or cat for just $15—no appointment necessary! Stop by Monday-Friday, 10 AM-4 PM at WCAC or during our next monthly rabies and microchip clinic (Saturday, Feb. 22nd from 9am-11am). It only takes a few minutes!

📧 If you adopted from us and need help finding your pet’s microchip info, email us at [email protected].

A microchip is only as good as the info attached to it—keep it up to date!

🐾 Tips for Pets 🐾

🍁Dinner is a great time to practice "Place" and other relaxation techniques

🍁Allow your dogs a safe and calm space to relax away from everyone - all of the people, sounds, smells, and activity can quickly become overwhelming!

🍁Avoid giving table scraps as many foods are toxic to dogs or can cause a serious illness like pancreatitis

🍁 Resist the urge to toss your dog a bone - they can splinter easily and injure your pet if ingested. A kong with frozen pumpkin is a much safer alternative your dog will love!

🍁Don't forget to include them in the family photos!
