Microchipping

A microchip is a tiny ( grain of rice sized) inert metal implant containing a unique electronic barcode number. The microchip is inserted into dogs under the loose skin over the shoulder region in a simple procedure carried out by a veterinary surgeon using a special hypodermic syringe. The unique barcode is read by a scanner and registered by the veterinary surgeon at a central microchip database. This code identifies the dog for life specifically to the registered owner of the dog.
