FREE microchipping until Saturday for local pets Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- You’ve got three more days to have your pet microchipped for free. Seguin Animal Services has been providing the free service throughout June. Shelter Manager Shelley Lutz says this free service has always been offered twice a year and for plenty of good reason. “We do it twice a year -- both in preparation for July 4 and New Year’s Eve. More animals go missing on July 4 than any other time of the year and so the thought behind it was the more we can get microchipped, the more that we can get returned home if they should go missing very quickly, very easily,” said Lutz. Lutz believes in microchipping and says it’s the best way to reunite a pet should it ever get lost or stolen.

“Microchips work. Anytime, we pick up an animal or go out to an animal call, we scan everything and so they are scanned. Usually, the microchip is located just under the skin right between the shoulders blades. A number comes up. We are able to put that into our shelter management system or a national database and you put that microchip number in and it tells us where it is registered to and where to call and get that pet returned,” said Lutz. Lutz says her staff makes the microchipping process as simple as possible. All pet owners have to do is bring their pets in before noon Saturday. “You just come in. We are open Monday through Friday from 9 to 5 and on Saturday from 9:30 until noon. Pets, pg. 3
