Your pet is implanted with a microchip the size of a grain of rice, your details are then registered with a national database.
If your pet is found and taken to a police station, vets or dog warden, it will be scanned and it's unique microchip number will be checked with the database and the registered owners contacted and reunited with their pet. It is extremely important to keep your dogs microchip information up to date.

Microchip Information
Microchipping uses Radio Frequency (RFID) technology and cannot be tampered with, fade or be removed. The chip is deposited under the skin between the shoulder blades and the needle used, houses the microchip. The needle is not shaped like a conventional needle, but has a clever design, allowing it to incise the skin easily with little discomfort and the skin closes back as soon as the needle is removed.
The microchip contains no battery or power source. When a vet, dog warden or rescue centre scans a found animal, the unique microchip number is displayed to them using a special scanner. This number is then checked against the national database and the animal can then be reunited with it's owner.
