What is a Microchip?

A microchip is the tiny computer chip that contains the unique ID number assigned to the transponder. The transponder is simply the tiny electronic devise encapsulated in biocompatible glass used to store an identification number. Electronic identification uses a common low-power signal to read an ID number stored in a tiny electronic circuit, the microchip.

How lost animals are reunited with their owners

Electronic identification for companion animals is offered in conjunction with the Petlog national database. Petlog operate a central computerized database within the UK and are working with other European countries and form ‘Euronet’. Petlog are part of the UK Kennel Club. The Petlog database contains details of the animal and the owner. Once the lost animal has been scanned, and a transponder detected. Petlog are contacted and given the animal’s microchip number.
