Microchip and nail clinics

Affordable microchipping for your pet—and nail trims too!

The Animal Humane Society recorded 4,210 lost pet reports in 2012. Of that number, only 717 were reunited with their owners.

If your pet is ever lost, your chances of finding him/her significantly improve if s/he is microchipped—given a permanent form of identification.

Increase your chances of being reunited with your animal friend by joining us at one of our Microchip and Nail Clinics. This convenient, affordable event makes it easy for you to get your pet microchipped, and, if you choose, have his/her nails clipped too. Microchipping is $30 plus tax and nail trims are $15 plus tax. Anal gland expression is also offered at $20 plus tax.

By appointment
Microchipping and nail trims are also available at Animal House, our pet boarding facility at our Golden Valley location. Call Animal House at (763) 489-2222 for more information.

How does microchipping work?
Microchips are an implanted form of identification the size of a grain of rice. They do not contain a battery, making them functionally reliable for the life of your pet.

This inexpensive chip is implanted between your pet’s shoulder blades just under the skin and is equipped with an individual scanning number. That number is then listed with your contact information in a nation-wide database that can be accessed by veterinarians and animal shelters to aid in the return of your lost pet.
