next week is national pet ID week, a time to recognize the importance of tagging and microchipping your pets in order to keep them out of shelters.
dane county humane society is offering reduced-fee microchipping from april 21 through the 27th. cost is only $15 and the procedure takes no more than a couple of minutes and walk-ins are accepted.
worried it might hurt your kitty? fret not. microchips are the size of a grain of rice and are inserted transdermally with a needle. kitty won't feel a thing.
