Once inserted in the pet the microchip remains inactive until a hand held device, known as a scanner or reader, is passed over the pet, in proximity to the microchip. The scanner generates an electromagnetic field witch activates the microchip. The microchip then begins to broadcast, via a low power radio signal its unique identification number back to the scanner. Once this signal is received by the scanner the pet's ID number is displayed an the scanner's liquid crystal display. In North America, over 38,000 family pets are euthanized everyday simply because they cannot be identified.
Microchip implants provide safe, permanent, and unique identification of pets.
Microchips cannot be altered and do not fade over time. The procedure is simple and safe to administer. No surgical preparation or anaesthesia is required. In Ontario, the Collage of Veterinarians of Ontario has determined that no physical examination of an animal is required prior to doing the microchip procedure. When found we at Canadian Canine Registry are prepared to provide the necessary information to assist in returning the pet to its rightful owner.
