9 Microchipping and why it is so important What is a microchip? A microchip is a small chip encased in a glass cylinder (about the size of a grain of rice) with a unique identification number that can be detected with a microchip scanner. Unlike a collar or tag that could be lost or removed a microchip is a permanent and reliable means of identification for them. The microchip number is recorded on a microchip database registry with details about the animal and owner. It’s important to note that a microchip alone is not enough to ensure your pet’s safe return. It’s crucial that pet owners keep their contact information up-to-date with the microchip company. Also, a collar and ID tag is a good additional identification method to ensure your pet can be easily identified in case it’s found by someone who is not able to scan for a microchip.
