Micro Chipping

Why should I microchip my pet?
Every year thousands of unidentified pets are humanely destroyed in Malaysia. Many of these animals could have been reunited with their owner if proper identification had been possible. Animals disappear for many reasons, stray, get lost, frightened, are injured and run away, or are even stolen. As the owner, you are responsible for ensuring that your pet is under your control and that includes proper identification.

What is a microchip?
The implantable microchip is just 12mm long and 2mm in diameter (about the size of a grain of rice) and carries a unique identification number, 15 digits long. It is made out of inert materials to avoid rejection by the body, has no power source and has an cap to avoid movement once professionally implanted. Microchips are now manufactured to an International Standard (ISO 11784 and ISO 11785).

How is the Microchip implanted?
The chip is implanted by a veterinary surgeon must be using a special pre-packed sterile needle in a simple painless injection in the scruff of the neck. The procedure is very similar to, and no more painful than, an annual vaccination.
