Pet owners curious about microchip knowledge

In fact, it is not uncommon for microchips to be used in animals; the livestock industry uses them to record animal information, zoologists implant microchips in wildlife such as fish and birds for scientific research, and they are implanted in pets to prevent them from getting lost.

The pet microchip is implanted under the pet’s skin through a syringe, and the chip carries a global animal unique identification identification code that will accompany the pet throughout its life as its electronic ID card. Through the identification of this number and the collaborative management of the back-end database, the pet’s information can be written and read. It realizes the informationization of pet management.

Some pet owners have some common questions about microchips, listed below:

1.What is a microchip?

A microchip is a passive transponder device implanted beneath an animal’s skin which contains a unique series of characters used to identify an animal if it’s lost.

2.Does a microchip hurt?

Once the microchip has been inserted, your pet won’t even know it.

3.Will the microchip expire?

The microchip has an expiry date on the packaging but this is purely for implantation purposes and not an expiry date for the function of reunification.

4.My pet wears an ID tag every day. Why do I need to have him microchipped?

A collar and ID tags are not considered permanent ID. Lost pets frequently end up in shelters after their collars come off. If this happens your pet can still be identified by the microchip since it is embedded beneath its skin.
