What is a Microchip?
A microchip is a RFID that transmits stored information. RFID means (Radio Frequency Identification Device). They are approximately the size of a grain of rice and safe to use on your pets for identification purposes. A microchip is implanted in an animal with a sterile implantation device usually in the soft scruff of the neck.
Microchips for Pets is an extremely common, and very safe procedure.
Microchips make use of Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) technology. RFID technology was discovered in 1948 by Harry Stockman, it allows information to be transmitted though radio waves to a receiver (a scanner) and has been used in many applications such as security and surveillance, and the tracking of animals, vehicles and even artwork for around the last 30 years.
