Dog Days of Summer Brings Furry Friends Together for Food, Fun, and Free Microchipping

In a world filled with Facebook and social media, we are all aware how often pets get lost. Nearly every day, there are Facebook posts popping up in your feed with a furry friend that has gotten lost. One way to help ensure that your four-legged family member makes it home if they get lost, is by getting your pet microchipped.

According to the Friends of Detroit Animal Care and Control, "on average, DACC takes in approximately 20 dogs per day. When a dog is microchipped, he is reunited with his owner immediately." That's why this Sunday, July 29th, the Friends of DACC will be hosting a free microchipping event. Residents of Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park can head to El Club this weekend to get their dog microchipped free of charge. In addition to this free service, there will also be frozen treats, music, games, dog pools, and more. Some of the great companies that will be on site at the event include LAIKA DOG, Third Man Records, Cass Corridog, and Canine to Five. So even if you're dog is already micro-chipped, this is a super fun event to take your pup to!


Sunday's event will run from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. and all friendly leashed dogs are welcome. El Club is located at 4114 W. Vernor Highway in Southwest Detroit. For more info on this great event, click here.
