On October 25, 2022, City Council approved ordinance amendments for Chapter 6, Animals, of the Municipal Code. Because microchipping is a quicker and easier method to reunite pets with owners, the city has removed the licensing requirement and established a microchipping ordinance. Per Section 6-21, the City of Bentonville requires all dogs and cats, over four months of age, to have the following: Microchip implanted in the animal and microchip number registered with Bentonville Animal Services within 30 days A rabies vaccination & certificate, not to expire in the next 90 days Fees & Purchasing Bentonville Animal Services will microchip any pet for $10 per pet and register said pet in the national database, as well as the city system. If your pet is already microchipped, we can register it in the city system at no cost. For questions or to schedule a microchip implant, please email [email protected] or call 479-254-2055.
Please fill out a seperate form for each pet.
