Drive-thru micro-chip event successful in Leamington
By Deanna Bertrand LEAMINGTON – The Windsor-Essex County Humane Society held its first Leamington drive-thru microchip clinic Saturday, October 2 in the parking lot at the Leamington Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Centre on Sherk St. Veterinarian Dr. Kayla Beetham said that the Humane Society wanted
to “increase access to care for people (pet owners) who can’t come into the city.” Melanie Coulter, executive director of the Humane Society, was also on hand and said they expected to see 80 to 100 dogs, cats and rabbits during the three-hour drive-up clinic. Coulter said the microchip, which is very small,
the size of a grain of rice, can be scanned providing information so that pets can be reunited with their owners when lost. The devise is permanent and doesn’t fall off like a tag can, said Coulter. “It is a valuable thing to have.” For more information on microchips or other clinics go to http://www. windsorhumane.org
