Host A Microchipping Clinic In Your Community
A Microchipping Clinic is fun fund-raising event that benefits pets in your community!
Getting Started
You will first need to pick a location and secure a local veterinarian to administer the microchip in accordance with local ordinances and statutes.
Where local microchipping statutes and guidelines allow, talk to your local Parks and Rec Department or school’s Principal about hosting a weekend event at their site. These locations are ideal since they are already staged for a Drive-Thru format because of weekday carpool drop-off lanes!
Request a well-shaded area or have room to set up a tent with long tables and offer microchipping as a “bonus” activity at the event.
Set up a scanning station and scan pets’ existing microchips to educate the public on how microchips work. Many pet owners will be surprised to learn their pet’s microchip is not an online directory or a gps!
You can also have a tablet on site to lookup the chip number immediately at aaha.org/petmicrochiplookup. If the pet is not enrolled, give them an enrollment form to enroll their pet’s chip at AKC Reunite right away!

Microchipping Clinic Checklist
Start planning your event at least 6 weeks in advance
and follow these steps to host your microchipping clinic.
Before The Clinic
You will want two people to handle microchipping: one person to hold the animal and the veterinarian to implant the microchip. Other team members can help answer questions and manage payment and paperwork.
Cell phone-friendly payment tools like “Square” make it easy. If you are going to accept cash, have plenty of spare change and a lock box and ledger.
