Free Microchiping + More This May!
Did you know that 1 in 3 pets will go missing in their lifetime? A microchip is their best chance of getting back home.
From May 3rd through May 30th, 2026, you can get FREE microchipping for your dogs and cats at participating Vetco Total Care hospitals and Vetco Vaccination Clinics!
This is a fantastic limited-time offer. While most vet offices charge up to $50 for this service, you can secure your pet’s permanent ID for zero out-of-pocket cost this month.
