What is microchipping?
Microchipping is a permanent identification method for animals. A small microchip is implanted under the skin of the animal by a qualified professional. This chip contains a unique number that can be read using a compatible scanner.
Unlike a collar or a tag, the microchip cannot simply fall off or be accidentally removed. It remains associated with the animal and makes it easier to identify if it is lost, found, or entrusted to a professional.
How does a microchip work?
A lifetime identification for the animal
The microchip does not work like a GPS. It does not track the animal in real time. Instead, it contains a unique identification number.
When a veterinarian, shelter, SPCA, breeder, or other professional scans the animal, the microchip number can be used to retrieve the associated record. That is why it is essential that the owner's information is properly registered and kept up to date.

Simple steps to protect your animal
If your animal is not yet microchipped, the first step is to make an appointment with a veterinary clinic or an authorized professional. Microchipping must be performed with appropriate equipment and under safe conditions.
During the appointment, the professional can verify whether your animal already has a microchip, implant the new microchip in the correct location, and provide you with the identification number associated with your animal.
Once the microchip is implanted, it is important to register your animal in Identrac to link the microchip number to its profile. You can then add your contact details, update its information, and activate the available options to better protect it.
