Amarillo’s ‘Chip or Treat’ Offers Free Pet Microchips in October

Pets are some of the most wonderful things in life, and if you live in Amarillo, you know how much this community loves animals, especially when one gets lost or is found.

If you have ever lost one of your pets, it is heartbreaking, and you are on edge until you get your fur baby back home. One of the best things you can do as a pet owner is to have your pet microchipped.

That microchip is the one thing that can help get your fur baby back to you safely.

Any time I get a new pet, the first thing I do is take them to get microchipped. One of the best places to do this is at the Amarillo Animal Management and Welfare office here in Amarillo.  They are the most affordable when it comes to pet microchipping.  A few years ago, one of my cats ran off, and I still hope to this day, I'll get a phone call saying someone found my sweet fur baby.
