PET MICROCHIPPING SERVICES IN THE UAE

Pet-Microchip-microchi

A pet is like a child, requiring constant attention and care. A pet’s curiosity can lead them to wander or roam around, and it is unlikely they will realise they have wandered off in their excitement. In such a situation, your pet should have ID so that they are identifiable as yours.

A microchip serves as your pet’s ID and contains details of their owner as well. Such a chip helps you identify your pet in case of a mix up and is a necessary requirement to travel overseas.

BENEFITS OF A PET MICROCHIP

  • Easy application.

  • Requires no power or maintenance.

  • Lifetime protection.

  • Allows for foreign export of your pet.

  • Confirmation and cross-referencing of immunisation records of your pet against those on the chip number.

  • Helps with tracing and identifying your pet at a clinic or at the vet in case they get lost.

safety & SECURITY

Why Should I Get My Pet
Microchipped?

Microchips provide safety and identification with zero risk. Such a chip is a permanent proof of ID, which means if your pet is ever lost or misplaced, the vet or the authorities can scan its microchip and find your contact information.

Each microchip has a unique identification number, which can be cross-referenced with the chipmaker’s database and confirm the identity of the pet.

Even better, pet microchips are standardized worldwide. A standard pet microchip is of the 15-digit, non-encrypted, ISO 11784/11785 variety, and is used and accepted worldwide.


You must get your pet microchipped for them to be registered with the Emirate’s municipality, or risk paying a fine.

How is a Pet Microchip Implanted?

How-Is-a-Pet-Microchip-Implanted-microchip

Pet microchips are implanted by a veterinarian with the help of a quick injection, just like a routine vaccination.

The implantation of microchips varies from animal to animal. Dogs and cats receive the injection along the dorsal midline which is just between the blades of the shoulder.

  • Existing microchips need to be scanned before implanting a new one. The process takes 10 to 30 seconds. There is no requirement for an anaesthetic. The implantation procedure is swift.

  • The skin of your pet is desensitised through a simple pinch that pulls the skin upwards until taut. The needle is inserted by the professional.

  • Putting in the final pinch, make sure that the microchip stays in place as the needle is withdrawn.

  • The microchip registration forms can be completed with the help of the veterinarian or animal shelter personnel.

  • After the process, it is important to avoid vigorous exercise or activity with your pet for 24 hours for the anti-migration coating on the microchip to bond to your pet’s skin.
