LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – The Nevada SPCA is offering $5 microchips every Wednesday throughout the month of March.

This effort is in response to Clark County’s change in law making microchips mandatory for dogs and cats.

$5 microchip Wednesdays starts March 5. The nonprofit organization says pet owners can schedule an appointment online.

The service will be available Wednesdays starting from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

“While it’s important to have laws that protect our pets like microchipping, it’s even more important to have resources so that people can afford to abide by the law, and Nevada SPCA is committed to providing those resources to help both pets and people in our community,” says Lori Heeren, Nevada SPCA Executive Director.

The Clark County commission recently voted to pass the ordinance that will go into effect later this year.

Last August, the City of Las Vegas made it mandatory for all pets.
