San Antonio May Require Pet Owners To Microchip Cats And Dogs

Next Thursday, San Antonio City Council will vote on a proposal to require owners of cats and dogs to obtain microchip implants.

The new rule would be that any owner or keeper of a dog or cat must implant the animal with a registered microchip before it is four-months-old.
