PET iCHIP is small electronic identification system designed to permanently identify or "tag" your pets. The microchip utilizes the RFID (radio frequency identification device) technology that reads the ID number through radio frequency. PET iCHIP uses an ISO 11784 numbering protocol.ISO numbering protocol is a system of identification prescribed by members of the International Committee on Animal Recording, conforming to all international regulations. |

The microchip with a size of a grain of rice, can be conveniently administered underneath your pet's skin through a syringe-like dispenser by an accredited authorized veterinarian. For dogs and cats it is implanted between the shoulder blades. |
 |
Each PET iCHIP's number is unique worldwide. It cannot be cloned due to many authentication features of the product. This unique authentication system is prescribed by International Committee on Animal Recording. |
 |
PET iCHIP implantation is performed similar to a normal vaccination procedure. Although it is regarded as a veterinary procedure the whole process usually take a few minutes. After the implantation, the dog is back to normal. There will be some cases where the dogs need to be sedated. In such cases dogs recover from sedation in less than an hour. |
Dogs can be "PET iCHIPped" at any age provided that they weigh not less than 150 grams. Our accredited veterinarians will further assess your pet's condition prior to microchipping to determine fitness for the procedure. |

PET iCHIP uses biocompatible materials that are harmless to the animal. It does not elicit a "foreign body" reaction that may cause inflammation or other tissue response. It is very safe when administered properly. PET iCHIP is further equipped with BIO-BOND to prevent microchip migration inside your pet's body, thereby preventing injury of soft tissues and vital organs. |
The microchip emits radioactive signals in numeric values that are read by a scanner. |
The first microchip was implanted some 25 years ago to a horse and is still working. |
It is the same with PET iCHIP, the only difference is that it is an identifier and a temperature sensor in one. With PET iCHIP BIOTHERMO, you don't have to tediously check your pet's temperature using a rectal thermometer. The PET iCHIP BIOTHERMO provides a safer, faster and more convenient way of determining your pet's temperature. |
 |
It has accuracy within 0.05 degrees Celsius and correlates well with rectal temperatures when taken in a non-threatening environment. |
The PET iCHIP identification is a one-time and once in a pet's lifetime investment. Price range from Php 450.00 to Php 1,150.00 (exclusive of professional fee). Call your nearest APC for inquiries. |
This is an Authorized PET iCHIP Center (APC) that is accredited by the PCCI to implement the policy on microchip ID. These APC 's are trained to recognize various dog breeds and PCCI registration procedures. They are also supplied with PCCI Pet iCHIP registration forms which will be sent back to PCCI office for recording and processing. All PCCI accredited APC's will have a signage with the PCCI logo. |
