The microchip in animals is essential especially in international travel. Depending on the destination country you choose for your trip with your pet, you must pay attention to the rules of each city, state or province.
The microchipping of pets can be performed at any stage of the pet’s life, even for those who are in Brazil and have no plans to travel abroad.
For those who are packing, microchipping in animals is required for most international trips, for example to all European countries, Japan, Africa and Arab countries, in advance of departure.
The procedure is super simple, performed by veterinarians. The microchip is located in the animals’ subcutaneous tissue (under the skin), usually on the back (“behind the neck”) and does not cause allergies, pain or side effects.
After this procedure, it is necessary to register the pet data. The main information for registering pets are: Name of the tutor, updated address and telephone. The animal’s date of birth and other notes can also be added. The registration is always linked to a microchip number.
With a trip scheduled or just for the safety of pets, it is always interesting to register the pet at CCZ (Zoonosis Center) of the city where you currently live, whether in Brazil or abroad. This information is important in case of loss or disappearance of the puppy.
There are places such as some states in the United States and Japan where it is mandatory to register a pet with government agencies, either for pet safety, for loss, or even for sanitary control. Looking for information in the city where you will live with your pet is the way to get your puppy regularized too.
The microchip is your pet’s ID and this number is valid worldwide. Nowadays it is the most effective way to identify the pet. It pays to leave your best friend registered and registered wherever you go.
