Check the Chip Day in Fernley & Rattlesnake Avoidance Class

On August 15, 2026, animal lovers and responsible pet owners are invited to join the City of Fernley Animal Control for an enriching event dedicated to pet safety and welfare. Known as Check the Chip Day, this annual gathering ensures your pet's microchip information is up to date while also providing an opportunity to equip your furry friends with new microchips. Taking place in Fernley, this day is especially important for maintaining peace of mind, as it emphasizes both the security provided by microchips and the importance of keeping information current. Attendees can take advantage of microchips priced at $15 each, or contribute to a good cause by donating an unopened 10-pound bag of pet food in exchange for the service.

In addition to the microchipping services, the event features a captivating Rattlesnake Avoidance Class for dogs, hosted by the renowned Get Rattled. This will be an invaluable experience for pet owners, offering practical skills that could protect their pets from potential danger. Pet enthusiasts will also have the chance to interact with various local pet-related small businesses, making it an engaging community affair. Participation in the rattlesnake avoidance course requires prior registration, with individual time slots tailored to ensure effective training. This unique blend of educational opportunities and community interaction makes the event an essential date for any pet owner seeking to safeguard their beloved animals.
