My morning ritual always includes watching morning show like Unang Hirit while eating breakfast. One of the segment I found in yesterday’s show that interested me was about microchips for pets. This technology has been available in other countries for quite some time now but it was only introduced in the Philippines not so long ago.
Pet lovers would muse at how small these microchips are — just the size of a small grain of rice. These chips will be injected through an almost regular size syringe so it will be placed under the skin of your pet.
What’s the use of the microchip? Primarily, for identification purposes. It is normal for pets to stray and when they do, the owner is lost in thought where it’s gone, how to find it, and if found, how to identify and convince others it is indeed her/his pet.Pet registration are good measures to claim pet ownership but many pet owners does not register their pets for different reasons. While pet tags are god measures to name you pet and proclaim to the neighborhood he or she is yours, these tags are often lost or misplaced. When these pets ran, chase or play, durability of pet tags are put to test and usually break.
The microchip comes with a remote-control-size scanner that reveals the barcode number of a pet that is microchipped. Some microchips have GPS capability which means you can track the location of your pet while others would even reveal the name, age, breed and other information of the scanned pet.
Other companies offer medical insurance policy and pet recovery assistance upon purchase of the microchip. It is of course more expensive but if you love your pet that much and you can afford it, it’s worth buying that piece of techno gadget.
I believe microchipping pets would soon become a fad and a must that it would be the national basis for pet documentation.
