Microchipping
Ensure your pet's safe return with a permanent microchip identification.
Electronic identification plays an important role in returning lost animals to their owners and in tackling illicit trafficking and theft. A microchip provides a solid and unique form of identification that cannot be lost overtime and leaves no visible trace on the animal. A small capsule the size of a grain of rice with a coded identification number is injected under the skin in a simple painless procedure. The whole procedure takes less than 5 seconds and is performed using a needle only slightly larger than those used for vaccination. The animal can then be scanned using a special microchip scanner that will detect the chip and display its unique identification number.
The microchip itself contains no information about the owner or animal, just the identification code. When a microchip is implanted, the details of both pet and owner are entered into an official database alongside the identification code. This means if an animal is found and scanned, the identification number can be used to search the database to find the owner’s details.
