Bossier City Animal Control Announces $5 Microchips for the Month of May

It is absolutely no secret that the homeless animal situation in Louisiana is a massive hurdle.

Our local shelters and rescues work tirelessly, but the influx of pets is a constant challenge. Thankfully, there are simple, proactive ways to ensure your furry best friend stays safe and doesn't end up contributing to the serious stray population in the 318.

While we love seeing the outpouring of support for local heroes like Robinson’s Rescue, whose recent annual fundraiser helps provide low-cost spay and neuter services across the Ark-La-Tex, there is another critical tool in your pet-parenting toolkit: the microchip.

The good news? You don’t have to break the bank to protect your pet. Microchip May is officially right around the corner!

For the entire month of May, Bossier City Animal Control is offering microchipping for just $5. And here is the best part: it doesn’t matter where you live! You do not have to be a Bossier City resident to take advantage of this incredible, inexpensive opportunity. Whether you're in Shreveport, Benton, or beyond, your pet is welcome.

Lost pets happen in the blink of an eye, but finding their way home is a whole lot easier with a chip. For five bucks, this is likely the best decision you’ll make for your pet all year.
