The microchip is a small device, smaller than a grain of rice. It is injected at the side of the neck with a sharp needle and stays inside the pet for life. This microchip carries a unique number – and no other information. In our database (and any other database you register this microchip number in, such as the municipality database) In our clinic database this number will be linked to your account. Should your pet get lost, the finder will check them for a microchip and send out the number to other vets, clinics and the municipality in order to find the one that has your details registered, so that they can contact you and reunite you with your pet. We will not share any of your information without your consent!
The microchip and the registration in the Municipality database is compulsory by law for dogs and cats living in the UAE.
If you relocate or travel to a different country with your pet it is compulsory for them to have a microchip implanted. It is a means of identification and used to prove that the animal has had the required vaccinations, which is why a pet has to be microchipped BEFORE the vaccinations
Pet microchips are tiny chips that are the size of a grain of rice. A microchip uses radio frequency technology and contains a unique number that is associated solely with your pet.
If your pet is ever lost or stolen and taken to a veterinarian or shelter, a staff member will scan your pet to see if the pet has a microchip. If the pet is microchipped, the scanner will beep and display a number. The staff member will then look up that number in an online registry that contains your name, phone number, address, email address and other pertinent information that is needed to get ahold of you so that you and your pet can be reunited.
It won’t hurt any more than a routine vaccination – having a microchip implanted doesn’t even require anesthetic. The procedure is performed at your veterinarian’s clinic and is simple and similar to administering a vaccine or a routine shot.
The microchip comes preloaded in a sterile applicator and is injected under the loose skin between the shoulder blades. The process takes only a few seconds, and your pet will not react any more than he would to a vaccination.
All pets should wear collar tags imprinted with their name and the phone number of their pet parent, but only a microchip provides permanent ID that cannot fall off, be removed, or become impossible to read.
A microchip is only the first step! You must register your pet’s microchip to give your pet the best protection.
We register your pet’s microchip to Dubai Municipality database with your contact information, so you can be contacted when your lost pet is found. Also, remember to keep your contact information up to date whenever you move or change phone numbers.
