Houston, TX improves efficiency for Animal Enforcement Officers by requiring microchipping for pets

Houston, TX pet microchipping requirements

Complete

The Houston City Council approved an ordinance requiring all pets be microchipped within a year. A pet owner's license and rabies vaccination data will be matched to the microchip eliminating the use of metal tags. This change will allow BARC Animal Enforcement Officers to scan and return a pet to its owner while the officers are in the field, eliminating the need to bring the animal back to the shelter for intake.
