Clark County staff informed the Enterprise TAB on June 25 about changes to Clark County Code requiring microchipping of domestic dogs and cats in unincorporated county areas.

What was announced: The county said changes to Clark County Code Title 30, effective April 2025, require that each dog or cat older than four months be implanted with a microchip in accordance with the cited code section. Clark County Animal Protection Services has committed $150,000 to support reunification efforts and program startup. The county has produced 10,000 microchips and reported partnerships with local organizations to provide microchips to unincorporated‑county residents for a reduced fee.

Direct quote from the briefing: Staff noted the code change and said the county “has committed dollars 150,000 to bolster pet reunion efforts and to, quick start the program” and that 10,000 microchips were produced for distribution.

Partnerships and implementation: The briefing named county partners working to provide low‑cost or reduced‑cost microchips and public events; staff said participating organizations would offer microchips to unincorporated residents at a low price. The TAB was briefed as an informational item; no action was taken and the chair closed the information item.

Ending: The microchipping requirement is in effect per the County Code changes referenced to take effect in April 2025 for unincorporated Clark County; residents should consult Clark County Animal Protection Services for program details and clinic schedules.
