Corpus Christi residents will be required to microchip their cats or dogs and sterilize their dogs if they’re found at large, per an amended ordinance that the City Council approved Tuesday.
Council members must approve the new requirements a second time before they go into effect. The changes are meant to reduce neglect, nuisances and the number of strays, according to the city’s Animal Care Services.
Under the amended ordinance, pet owners must have their dog or cat implanted with a microchip that will be registered with Animal Care Services and the microchip company. Microchips will replace city licenses for pets under the current ordinance.
