The fee to microchip an animal at Hawaiian Humane is $20.

Pet microchip identification is safe, effective, low-cost and required by law. In 2020, the City & County of Honolulu replaced the dog licensing system with rules requiring that all pet dogs 3 months and older and cats 4 months and older must have microchip identification. Unlike a license tag, a microchip cannot be lost. Once implanted, it is permanent. Only the owner information attached to it has to be updated if you move, change your phone or email address, or rehome your pet. 

To be effective at getting your pet home, you must register your owner information with the company that manufactured your pet’s microchip or a free online database such as 24PetWatch. Please note that registering your contact information to your pet’s microchip is completely free – any fees charged are for additional services that are not required.

Visible identification, via a tag or collar with the owner’s phone number, is also strongly recommended for dogs. Cats six months or older who are allowed outdoors are required by law to wear a collar with an identification tag. ID tag or collars allow Good Samaritans to help pets get back home immediately.
