A useful news release comes from Toronto Animal Services this morning that its so-called chip truck (for dogs) will officially kick off a third season on April 12 at Pet Social Stay and Play Centre, 5 Bruyeres Mews. This location is out in New Toronto and not so convenient to South Bayview. The chip truck, sponsored by PetSecure, is a low-cost, mobile microchip clinic for dogs and cat owners. The chip truck offers a microchip and a pet licence for $25 for cats and $35 for dogs. If your pet has a current City of Toronto licence, the cost of your microchip is $10 with proof of licence. Appointments are not required. To use the chip truck, dogs must be on a leash and cats must be properly contained in a carrier. Pet owners are asked to bring a piece of photo identification with their address. More information is available here.
