Every year thousands of dogs and cats get lost. Some of them never return home. But there is a simple and effective solution that can really save lives - microchipping.
What is a microchip?
A microchip is a tiny device (about the size of a grain of rice) that is injected under the skin of an animal with a special syringe. It contains a unique 15-digit number that is read by a special scanner.
The chip itself is not a GPS tracker - it does not transmit a signal, but it allows you to identify the animal and find its owner through the database.
Why is it so important?
1. Returning home
If an animal is lost or stolen, the microchip allows you to quickly identify its owner if the chip is registered in the database.
2. A prerequisite for traveling abroad
Chipping is a necessary requirement for obtaining a European-style veterinary passport and traveling with an animal.
3. Proof of ownership
In disputed situations, the microchip is proof that you are the owner of the animal.
4. Support for humane population control
In cities where stray animal registration programs operate, chipping avoids repeated sterilization and helps to track the fate of captured animals.
How does the procedure go?
- - It takes only 1-2 minutes.
- - Painless - it feels like a regular vaccination.
- - It is carried out once in the animal's life.
- - The microchip does not cause allergies and does not require maintenance.
The main thing is to register the chip in the database
It is registration in an international database (for example, Animal-ID, TRACER-ID) that makes chipping effective. We carry out both chipping and full registration immediately after the procedure.
