Microchip Information

 How Does Microchipping Work?
 

Every Ed's Pet World puppy will come with a microchip already implanted.  Pet microchips are very small, roughly the size of a grain of rice and  are implanted just beneath your pet's skin between their shoulder  blades. Implanting the microchip is quick and safe similar to a routine  shot. A pet microchip uses a radio frequency known as RFID to transmit  the ID number stored on the microchip to the scanning device that reads  the pet's unique number and displays it. Pet Microchips are not a GPS  Tracking Device. Pet Microchips do not require a power source so there  are never any batteries to replace or charge.
 

Since there are no moving parts or mechanics, a microchip will last your  pet's entire lifetime. It is important to register this unique  microchip number with your contact information so that you can be  reached immediately 24 hours a day if your pet is lost or found.
 

Why do I have to register my pet's microchip?
 

Once implanted, your dogs microchip is merely just a device that  contains a unique number. For your personal security and your pet's  protection, your emergency contact information must be linked to that  unique Microchip.
 

It is important to register this unique microchip number with your  contact information so that you can be reached immediately 24 hours a  day if your pet is lost or found. When a missing pet is found, the  shelter, vet or other recovering organization will scan the pet with a  specialized pet microchip scanner to determine if a microchip is  present. If the scanner detects the presence of a microchip, it will  display only the unique microchip number on the read out. If that unique  identifier is registered in a participating database the facilty  scanning your lost pet will be able to determine that the pet is  registered to a pet owner and call to inform you that your pet has been  found.
