Get Your Pet Microchipped For Free At Arizona Charlie’s
If your furry friend has yet to be microchipped, you can get your pet microchipped for free this Saturday, April 8th, at Arizona Charlie’s Casino at 740 South Decatur Boulevard in Las Vegas.
According to the flyer on ArizonaCharliesDecatur.com, this free event will take place from 10am – 2pm and will feature live entertainment from Kelly And The Strays. Paws For The Cause is sponsoring this free microchipping event. Per an article written by Justine Verastigue on KTNV.com, this is their first event since the pandemic. The microchips are being provided by The Animal Foundation. Veterinarians from Veterinary Centers of America will be conducting the microchip implants.
Not only can you get your pet microchipped for free this Saturday at Arizona Charlie’s Decatur, but they will be holding a pet blanket drive at the same time. The Animal Foundation will be collecting these new or gently used blankets to keep pets warm while they wait to be adopted. Per Verastigue’s article, anyone who stops by to donate a pet blanket or get their pet microchipped will receive a free branded leash and a True Rewards sign-up from Arizona Charlie’s.
Why should you get your pet microchipped? I checked the FAQ page on AmericanVeterinaryMedicalAssociation.org and the answer is what you would expect. Implanting a microchip under the skin of your dog or cat will greatly increase the chance that you will get your pet back if it becomes lost. If someone finds your pet and takes it to an animal shelter or a veterinary clinic, they can scan the microchip, and if you have kept your information up-to-date, your pet will be returned to you.
If you are worried that the hypodermic needle the vet uses to implant the microchip will hurt your pet, the AVMA.org website states that there is no more pain involved than a “typical injection.” No anesthesia is required. So, this is a perfect chance to get your “fur baby” microchipped for free this Saturday at Arizona Charlie’s.

14 Pet Products That Can Help Make Your Life Easier
1) Automatic Feeders
Let’s start with the basics. An automatic feeder can be great for a number of reasons. First, it allows you to set up specific portions for your pet. Any vet will tell you the best way to keep your pet healthy is to have their food portion based on their weight and the recommendation on your pet food package. Second, the feeder allows you to be out of the house and still make sure your pet is being fed. This is great for cats more so than dogs because dogs need to be let out of the house to use the bathroom. But if you’re pup is able to handle being home alone for a few hours while you go out for dinner or whatever occasion, this can be a big help in making sure they get their food at night.
2) Automatic Water Fountain
I bought one of these for my cat a few Prime Days ago and let me just say I love it and so does she. My cat used to love drinking from my bathroom sink. Something about the running water made her happy. So, when I heard from folks that buying a water fountain for her was the best option, I was a little skeptical. But what I found is it’s incredibly convenient. This holds 2.5 liters of water which honestly lasts quite a while for her. It takes the daily maintenance of adding water to her bowl out of the equation and it’s very easy to clean.
3) Pet Water Bottle
If you like taking your dog on a walk, you are probably also conscious of the fact that your pet needs water. That’s where these pet water bottles come into play. You can take them on your walks and give your pet that much-needed drink. This becomes a staple in my house during the summer. My dog is super thankful for it every time we take a walk in the hot sun.
4) MudBuster Portable Paw Cleaner
Speaking of walks, we all have had those days when the dog comes rushing up to you all muddy. This MudBuster portable paw cleaner is here to make your life easier. You simply stick your pup’s paws inside and it helps pull the mud and dirt off their feet. Which makes it a whole lot easier. Plus, it’s easy to clean!
5) Lick Mats
Not only are these great for giving your pet a treat, but they’re also good for distracting. We actually use the lick mat in my house for bath time. It gets my dog in the tub and it keeps her focused while I’m hosing her down.
7) Petcube Bites 2 Lite
Stay in the know while you’re away at work! These devices are brilliant and if you’re worried about your dog or cat and want to check in every now and then, this Petcube is a great option for you. The Bites 2 Lite model features a 160-degree lens, 2-way audio, and a treat dispenser!
8) Self-Cleaning Brush
Okay, I know for most people it’s easy to clean the brushes after using them, but I like the fact that all I have to do is press the button on the brush a few times and the hair is at the end of the bristles ready for me to pull it off. To me, that’s a timesaver.
9) Car Seat Hammock
Help your pup relax a little bit while they’re in your backseat. Not only will they be safer because there is less risk of them flying onto the floor, but this is also a much easier way to clean up. My dog sheds a lot when she’s in the car. She gets a lot of anxiety from car rides, but they’re necessary. So being able to quickly pull this up after she’s out of the car and do minimal spot cleaning is better for me.
10) Pet Hair Roller
Speaking of clean up, if you need a tool for cleaning up pet hair more easily, look no further. This is a brilliant device and it’s super easy to use. Just roll it back and forth on your couch or other cloth surfaces and you will be cleaning up a ton of hair in no time.
11) Pet Bath Robe
If you’re giving baths at home, this bathrobe for your dog can be very helpful. Some dogs prefer air drying and that’s where this bathrobe comes in. This robe is designed to absorb a lot of water quickly, so even if you do plan on blow-drying your pet this adorable bathrobe can help you cut down on dry time.
12) Aquapaw Sprayer and Scrubber
Speaking of bath time, this Aquapaw sprayer and scrubber is a great tool to have at bath time. It connects to your faucet and allows you to add water while you scrub in the soap products for your pet! It’s honestly brilliant and it definitely will help you save a little bit of time during those bathing sessions.
