Microchips can be implanted as part of a regular veterinary exam. Using a needle your vet will inject the microchip just under the skin of your pet. Microchips are normally implanted in between the shoulder blades of the animal, but your veterinarian will choose the most appropriate location for your pet’s microchip. Microchip implants are also known as ID chips or injectable ID chips.
Puppies and kittens can be safely micro chipped after 8 weeks of age, it is really the size of the pet that determines the safe placement of a microchip.
Microchips are normally used for cats and dogs, but other animals (such as Birds, Chicken Etc.) can also be implanted with microchips.
It won’t hurt and just similar to a routine vaccination – The procedure is performed by a licensed veterinarian and is simple and similar to administering a vaccine or a routine shot. Although the microchip needle is larger than a typical vaccine needle, animals do not over react to it. Anesthesia is not required or recommended.
You should have a Veterinary professional perform the procedure. Veterinarians, and Veterinarian Technicians, are trained and familiar with microchip delivery systems and are most qualified to perform the procedure.
All pets should wear collar tags imprinted with their name and the phone number of their pet parent, but only a microchip provides permanent ID that cannot fall off, be removed, or become impossible to read. Many Cities/Municipalities started to adopt microchip over collar tags.
A microchip will normally last the lifetime of your pet because it is composed of biocompatible materials that will not degenerate over time.
When an animal is found and taken to a shelter, LGU, City Vet, Municipal Pound or veterinary clinic, one of the first things they do is scan the animal for a microchip. If they find a microchip, and if the microchip registry has accurate information, they can quickly find the animal’s owner. Petdentity is committed to provide a portable microchip reader to all City Vet, Municipal Pound.
Any dog/cat breed are welcome to be chipped, our only requirement is Anti-rabies vaccine record, as we are working with Bureau of Animal’s Industry (BAI) and DOH for their Advocacy “Rabies Free Philippines 2020”.
Microchipping is a rather straightforward process. Some canines experience bleeding at the location of injection. This bleeding typically ceases swiftly with a little pressure. Since implantation chips are specifically made to not bring upon inflammatory responses, But the vast majority of pets experience minimal or zero side effects from the implantation process.
