Waco, TX – The Waco Fire Department is reminding pet owners of the importance of microchipping their animals, highlighting that a lost pet is often not far from home.
By bringing lost animals to a local Waco fire station for scanning, firefighters can quickly identify if the pet has a registered microchip.
This helps reunite animals with their owners faster and keeps them out of local shelters. If a chip isn’t found, firefighters provide guidance on what to do next.
Microchipping pets is required by law in Waco, and the city offers free microchips to residents to help comply with the mandate.
Pet owners are encouraged to find their nearest fire station or learn more about the program by visiting Waco-Texas.com/FireHouseToYourHouse.
