used in human pacemakers, to
prevent rejection from the animals body. The surface of the casing is
pitted to enable the animal's tissues to bond and grow around the chip
so holding it in position. Each chip is randomly
preprogrammed with its own unique identification number that is never
duplicated. The chip uses Passive radio frequency identification
(RFID) to communicate with the scanner, revealing a unique number on the LCD of the scanner. When this number is put into the
database, it discloses details of the dog's ownership. The chip
remains totally
passive, untill the energy from the low frequency radio wave
from the scanner is passed over the chip and it is then and only then
that the chip becomes active.
the chip energises
the chip and in return transmits its unique code back to the scanner.
The scanner LCD will then display the microchip number for a
minute.
Animal wardens, rescue centres, pounds, police, microchippers and vets
are all equipped with these scanners that are used to read the
microchip details and have access to the PetLog database. This
enables them to reunite the dog with its owner. PetLog is a
national database,
which means that your dog can be identified where it is found anywhere
nationwide and may mean you can avoid kennelling charges if it is
seized as a stray.| Your
