Frequently Asked Questions
Dogs Trust has set aside £6m towards microchipping all of the un-chipped dogs in England. However, we estimate that the cost of chipping half these dogs will total £3m (a cost that Dogs Trust will cover) and we are expecting that the support of other organisations offering free microchipping will cover the remaining cost to ensure that all un-chipped dogs in the England will be covered.
We are hoping that those who can afford to give a donation will help us recoup costs.
What is a microchip?
A microchip (technically called a Radio Frequency Identification Device or RFID) is a small electronic device, which is the size of a grain of rice. The microchip is coded with a unique number that can be read by a scanner that energises the microchip using a radio signal.
How is the microchip implanted?
In the UK the microchip is implanted under the skin between the shoulder blades. The process is carried out by a suitably trained person. It is not carried out under anesthetic. Once implanted correctly the microchip is unlikely to fail and so provides lifelong permanent identification.
Is it going to hurt my pet?
Microchipping just feels like a small pinch or mild sting – akin to a minor injection. The dog does not feel the chip at all after it has been inserted.
