In 2025, Tyler Animal Services is offering free microchips and registration for any cat or dog. 

Inserting a microchip is a quick process in which a tiny chip is inserted under a pet's skin. The chip is a permanent, helpful tool that ensures a pet can be easily identified if lost. 

At no cost, Tyler Animal Services will insert and register pets' microchips or confirm that an existing microchip is registered correctly. Pet owners do not have to be residents of the City of Tyler to obtain this service, and vaccinations are not required. 

No appointment is necessary. Interested pet owners can bring their furry friends to the Tyler Animal Shelter at 4218 Chandler Hwy.  For more information, call (903) 535-0045. 

All pets adopted through Tyler Animal Services receive a microchip as part of the adoption process.
