The chip is a capsule made of biocompatible material. The capsule contains a microchip the size of a grain of rice, its length is only 12 mm, and its weight is 0.5-0.6 grams. The product cannot be tampered with, lost or altered.
What information is contained in a dog chip?
A microchip is a microchip with an individual (unique) 15-digit code, which can be read only with a special scanner at any veterinary clinic.
In other words, it is the dog's passport certifying its identity.
After chipping in the database, full information about the animal and its owner is entered, which makes it easy to identify the dog. There is no single worldwide database.
What is the Chip for?
Dog chipping is a modern method of electronic identification, with its help it is possible to establish information about the animal and its owner.
Only a chipped dog can be transported across the border, the chip is checked at the border at veterinary control.
How do you find a dog with a chip?
A microchip is a passive device that has no battery or GPS transmitter. Therefore, it does not transmit information or the location of a lost pet.
It is not possible to track a dog by satellite using a chip!
In case of a lost dog, the owner can only wait until the pet is found and taken to a veterinary clinic where there is a scanner that reads the microchip number.
Contrary to misconceptions, the chip does not contain any information about the animal, it only contains an individual digital code and electronic databases (such as Animal-id) are used to store information about the animal and its owner.
To increase the safety of your pet, it is worth using special collars with trackers.
Where is the chip located and how can it be read?
The chip is inserted into the pet's withers or shoulder blade with a special syringe. Sometimes the chip may migrate a little and you can feel it tactilely, but the information it carries does not change.
The data of the chip is entered into a unified database and the information is entered into the veterinary passport.
How do animals tolerate chipping?
Most dogs tolerate the chipping procedure calmly and the chipping procedure is virtually painless. As a rule, there are no complications after chip implantation.
There is another modern identifier - QR-tag, which has a code linked to the pet's profile in a special database.
The QR-tag does not replace the chip, but supplements it.
Best wishes to never lose your beloved pets!
