The cost of a microchip varies but is usually between $40 and $60, which can sometimes deter pet owners. Because of this, Care First is a proud partner with the SPCA of Wake County in their Chips for Change initiative. The Chips for Change initiative allows pet owners to pay for the microchip with what they can afford. Our goal is to change the future of lost pets in our community by providing pet owners with an easy way to microchip their pets. To get started, fill out a form and our team will reach out to you. Donating to the Chip for Change cause helps pet owners who are unable to afford microchips, and in turn aids in the effort to lower the number of lost animals in North Carolina. August 15th is National Check the Chip day, so the time to chip is now! If you would like to learn more about microchipping or the Chips for Change cause, contact Care First Animal Hospital today.
