Microchip ?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Although a microchip is not a legal requirement within Canada or USA, nor even to enter Canada\u00a0(except for puppies under 8 months of age), it is always well advised for any international relocation. \u00a0It is the only way to attach a vaccination certificate uniquely to your animal.\u00a0 Many countries require a microchip as a condition of import, and\u00a0before any vaccinations are done. \u00a0Any animal requiring a blood sample for rabies must have a microchip or else, the sample will not be processed at the laboratory.<\/p>\n

So, the answer to the question is \u201cYes\u201d, although not mandatory in some cases, you should have a microchip for all the reasons described above as well as for the security of your animal should it get loss during travel or at its new destination.\u00a0 The microchip lasts the life of the pet, and whenever you move home, you can\u00a0update your new address details on the Microchip Website\u00a0at no extra charge.\u00a0 All veterinary practices and rescue centres carry microchip readers which means the pet can quickly be reunited with you when found.\u00a0 Microchipping may be done by anyone, provided they also provide a formal certificate of insertion (Microchip Implant Certificate) and the correct website for changing data in the future.\u00a0 Your microchip supplier or Veterinary Practice will advise which microchip databank they use and recommend.<\/p>\n

Microchips are the only reliable way to identify an animal.\u00a0 Tattoos can become illegible, and in any case there is no worldwide registration facility for tattoo numbers.\u00a0 Any pet that carries a microchip can have it read at any time.\u00a0 This microchip identifies the owner and origin of the dog, but this confidential information is only held by the company who registered the microchip at the time of implantation.<\/p>\n

From this you will see the essential requirement to register the pet correctly at the time of implantation.<\/p>\n

There are many different microchip registration companies, and with the benefits of the world wide web, they can be located anywhere in the world.\u00a0 Each company has a slightly different policy regarding registration and costs, but in general the initial cost of the microchip includes any number of address or ownership changes that can be made throughout the life of the pet.\u00a0 Here are some examples of registration companies used in North America, but this list is far from exhaustive:<\/p>\n

Pethealth Inc. : \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0www.24petwatch.com<\/a><\/p>\n

EIDAP Inc. : \u00a0www.eidap.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Microchip 4 Solutions Inc. :\u00a0www.microchipsolutions.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Petidco \/ Avid Canada,\u00a0The Microchip Company<\/p>\n

(formerly Advanced I.D. Corp.) : \u00a0www.petidco.com<\/a><\/p>\n

PetLynx Corporation<\/p>\n

Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 IDENT-TRAC Inc : \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0www.identrac.ca<\/a><\/p>\n

Viaguard Inc :\u00a0www.accu-metrics.com<\/a><\/p>\n

In every case an email, or website, or telephone number is given on the microchip registration certificate (Implant Certificate) \u00a0where the changes in details can be amended at any time in the life of the pet.<\/p>\n

A separate\u00a0Implant Certificate\u00a0is required for\u00a0each microchip number. \u00a0Three copies are distributed: 1) to the Registration Company, 2) to the vet or place of registration, 3) to the owner of the pet at the time of the implant.\u00a0 Each microchip should have its own registration certificate sheet for two reasons:<\/p>\n

1\u2026 Finding a lost pet:<\/h3>\n

This is important because this sheet gives the web page address where theownership\/locationdetails can be updated throughout the life of the pet. \u00a0 When a pet is moved to another address, city or country, the owner should take a minute to go to that website tomodify the actual address\u00a0of the pet.\u00a0 \u00a0If the animal is lost, the person finding the pet can contact the appropriate microchip company.\u00a0 The first three digits of the 15-digit number identify the microchip manufacturer.\u00a0 Manoir Kanisha can always assist you in identifying the correct company.\u00a0 The microchip company will then contact the owner to advise where the pet may be recovered.<\/p>\n

\u00a02\u2026 Making a link between a specific pet and its documents to travel:<\/h3>\n

For many pet relocations, both domestic and international, the microchip number on a certificate is the only way to attach that particular paper to that particular pet.\u00a0 For many destinations, especially Europe, the\u00a0date of implant\u00a0must be\u00a0on or\u00a0before the date of Rabies vaccinationelse the certificate is invalid. \u00a0The Vet must certify that the microchip was inside this particular pet before the pet\u2019s vaccination was done. Then, the microchip number will be written on each vaccination cert(*). \u00a0The destination country will scan the microchip in the pet and then verify this number on the veterinary documents.<\/p>\n

(*) Since any subsequent error in writing or re-writing the number will also make the certificate invalid, it is a good plan, when you are with the vet, when you first register the microchip, is to add the microchip number in three-digit groups in the same cell as the PETNAME in the computer.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Thus the number only needs to be inserted\u00a0once, correctly, and will always print on any certificate in this manner:<\/p>\n

I hereby certify that PETNAME 900 123 456 789 123, was vaccinated this day with . . . . . .etc.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
