Implantation of a dog microchip is the injection of a small electronic component into the subcutaneous layer in the middle between the two shoulder blades of the dog. The microchip can remain in the dog's body for the rest of its life without any side effects or reactions to the body. Each microchip has a unique 15-digit identification number for each dog, which is linked to a database system that records data in three parts:
- Information about the dog, such as gender, breed, age, color or defects, etc.
- Information about the dog, including name, contact address, and telephone number.
- Information of the agency that injected the microchip.
If the dog is missing, it is seen to be brought to the microchip installation center to check the number in the online database system. You can know your identification number and check for the owner.
