Clark County officials informed the Enterprise Town Advisory Board on July 30 that, effective Aug. 4, 2025, changes to Clark County Code Title 10 will require that each dog or cat older than four months be implanted with a microchip in accordance with Clark County Code 10.08.070(b).

The county reported a $150,000 commitment from Clark County Animal Protection Services to support a pet‑reunion initiative. To kick-start the program the county said it had procured 10,000 microchips and established partnerships with local animal organizations — referenced in the meeting as Hearts of Life Village, Heaven Can Wait and the NSPCA — to offer microchipping to eligible Clark County residents for a $5 fee.

Why it matters: Mandatory microchipping is a regulatory change that affects pet owners countywide, intended to improve reunification of lost animals with owners. The county provided funding and partner organizations to support implementation and low-cost access.
