Did you get a pet this holiday season? Or did vaccinating or licensing your pet in 2021 slip your mind? Here’s a few things to get your pet ready for the new year.
1. VACCINATE: Make sure they are up to date on vaccinations. Pet illnesses and diseases are preventable if you vaccinate your pet. Veterinary visits are often booked out, so call and make an appointment right away.
2.
MICROCHIP: At Salt Lake County Animal Services, any pet in Salt Lake County with a current pet license can receive a FREE microchip with proof of license. You can walk in with your pet during our open hours for this service, no appointment necessary. Microchipping is one of the best ways to get an animal back to their owner as quick as possible.

3. LICENSE: By Utah state law, pet owners must license a pet by the time they are five months of age or within 30 days of moving into an area or acquiring the pet. Find out more about licensing on our website.
Salt Lake County Animal Services is located at 511 W 3900 S, SLC. The shelter is open Tues-Sat, 10 AM-6PM. Visit AdoptUtahPets.org for more information.
