Hamilton County Holds Special Pet ID Day

State Fee Set To Increase In January


Hamilton County is trying to make it easy for pet owners to get new tags for their pets with special "Pet ID Days." On Sunday, the SPCA in Sharonville helped people register their pets and get a microchip identity tag. The $20 price tag included a free rabies shot.

Pet owners at the event said other vets charged as much as $100 for the service. Veterinarian Tamara Goforth said she is a big advocate of micro-chipping.

The device is placed under the pet's skin and is a permanent form of ID. County officials said that if people don't get their dogs licensed by Jan. 31, the cost will double.

That means the license will cost $38 instead of $19. The county will hold another special ID day on Dec. 19 at the SPCA's main adoption center in Sharonville.
