Humane Society to give away 50 microchips

The Humane Society of Utah is offering a free identification microchip, a $25 value, to pets of the first 50 new clients at its clinic, located at 4242 S. 300 West, when a complete dog or cat vaccination package is purchased.

Vaccination package prices range from $21.50 to $35.50.

This offer is limited to two chips per household and will not be valid after the first 50 are gone. The free microchips will be available only to people who have never used the Humane Society clinic services before.

Previous clients will also get a bargain: Microchips will be only $15 from Sept. 5-30.

"It's impossible to overestimate the importance of microchip IDs in keeping pets and their people together," says HSU Clinic director Pauline Edwards. "A chip is one of the first things a conscientious pet owner should consider getting."
