Microchips provide a permanent means of pet identification that will not fade or be lost over time. Owner information can be accessed electronically and immediately, ensuring the rapid return of your lost pet. The OHS recommends that even microchipped pets wear a collar and tag with your contact information as a secondary and visual method of identification.
The OHS hosts microchip clinics once a month on-site at the OHS. Microchipping is a quick, virtually painless procedure for your pet. Please see below for upcoming clinic dates. Appointments are required.
Location: Ottawa Humane Society, 245 West Hunt Club Rd.
Cost: $60 for one pet or $100 for two pets (must be the same owner)
Pre-Registration is required, we will not accept walk-ins. Appointments are limited, so reserve your spot today!
Cancellation Policy: Refund requests received 48 hours in advance of the scheduled appointment are eligible for a refund (a non-refundable $10 administration fee applies). Refund requests received within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment are not eligible for a refund. Full refunds will be issued in the event the OHS has to cancel a scheduled microchip clinic.
Appointments can be rescheduled free of charge if you contact us at least 48 hours in advance (subject to appointment availability).
If your pet cannot be microchipped due to behavioural issues or if it is discovered that they already have a microchip, clients are eligible for a refund (a non-refundable $10 administration fee applies).
