The microchip is a small electronic device enclosed in a sterile and non-reactive capsule. It provides a permanent identification which cannot be lost, altered or intentionally removed. A safe, simple and inexpensive way to protect your pet against loss or theft. The microchip is a permanent means of identifying your pet. Collars and tags, however useful, can easily be lost. Should your pet get lost, the microchip system will help to return them to you with the minimum of delay before being re-homed or even destroyed. Pets travelling abroad are required to be chipped as part of the Pet Travel Scheme. Once injected under the skin of your pet, the Microchip anchors itself in place for the rest of the life of your pet. It does not pass through or out of the body. The microchip itself has no power supply to replace or moving parts to wear down. Therefore, it can be expected to last for decades. Animals of any age can be injected with a Microchip. Many puppies and kittens are chipped during their initial vaccine series. Birds, horses and exotics can be identified at any time. No! Injecting a Microchip is just like any other injection or vaccination. Anesthesia is not required or recommended since there is minimal discomfort with the procedure. Not at all. The injection creates only a slight discomfort - most pets don't even react to it. For most animals (dogs, cats) the chip is implanted in the scruff of the neck (the loose skin between the animal's shoulder blades). At the time of implantation of the chip, your personal details are submitted to a single National Database. The information is kept for life and the fee for this is included in the cost of the implantation. If your pet is found and the chip number identified, it is a relatively easy matter to reunite you with your pet. Yes, the chips used in our clinic comply with the International Standard (ISO) and so can be recognised by scanners throughout Europe and beyond. Whilst the chip with its unique number will remain with your pet for life, it is possible to update your personal details on the National Database as and when required.
