What is different about a Pet ID microchip?

Even though all companion animal microchips meet international standards, manufacturing techniques vary and there can be small variances in performance reliability.

Pet ID microchips are manufactured in Switzerland using advanced engineering techniques to ensure reliability and quality. You can rest assured that our microchips will keep on working for the lifetime of your pet.

The inner circuitry of the Pet ID microchip is sealed during manufacture to prevent the possibility of failure. Each chip is also coated with an anti-migratory coating called Parylene C to ensure that the chip stays exactly where it is implanted.

The Pet ID microchip delivery system

Microchips are injected underneath the animal’s skin. At Pet ID, we have produced a needle that is significantly narrower than most on the market. In fact it is so narrow, it can fit inside many of our competitors needles. This means that using a Pet ID needle is a much less invasive procedure.

Registration of Pet ID microchips

For total security, Pet ID runs a ‘backtrack’ system that logs all microchips and implanters onto a database both in-house and on the Petlog database, owned and run by The Kennel Club. As implanters always keep a copy of every implanted chip, along with details of the implanted animal and its owner, your pet can still be traced even before Petlog receives registration details.
