Why is Microchipping Pets Important?
Branding and tattooing used to be the only means for animal identification, which is an extremely painful procedure for the animal. The problem of animal identification has now been solved with the help of microchips, thanks to the advancement of information technology. Most pet owners register and microchip their dogs and cats after purchasing them. It usually coincides with the first vaccination in puppies and kittens. Aside from identification, the law makes registration and microchipping mandatory. If you are traveling with your pets, microchipping is not only recommended but often required.
The data from chipping and registering is entered into the animal passport. This document also includes information on vaccinations, deworming, and parasite treatment. Only clinics with the proper licenses are permitted to register and vaccinate animals. Our vet clinic has licensed veterinarians who can safely implant the microchip into the pet.
Benefits of Chipping Pets
• The presence of a microchip in animals allows for a simpler accounting system in veterinary clinics, in which the records of the disease and preventive measures, such as pet vaccination details for each animal, have numbers corresponding to the microchip number.
• In the event that an animal is lost, electronic identification makes it much easier to locate the owner. When an animal is found, the owner’s information can be easily discovered by scanning the microchip.
• If you do not want to be separated from your pet during the holidays, you must microchip your pet immediately. This is an irrefutable requirement for entry into countries such as the European Union, the United States, and others.
• Microchipping pets is painless, especially if an experienced vet performs it. At our pet clinic, the specialists treat the animal with gentle care to ensure they feel no pain and finish the process in very little time.
How is the Chipping Procedure Carried Out?
A microchip is a small sterile, biocompatible glass capsule the size of a grain of rice, the material of which ensures that the microchip does not migrate. It does not emit anything, does not require a power source, and is activated only under the influence of the scanner. International electronic databases are used to store and recognize information about the animal and its owner. The chipping procedure is as follows.
• Before subcutaneous insertion of the microchip, the injection site is treated with an alcohol solution.
• The chip is inserted subcutaneously into the area of the withers or shoulder blades. In the future, within 5-7 days, it will be surrounded by a connective tissue capsule that limits its movement.
• Information is read using a scanner that emits a low-power radio signal.
• The specialist enters data about the owner and the microchip in the veterinary passport.
