    \n Not every country has the requirement for pet identification. But it is useful to set a chip and register your pet (see reasons above).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n The benefits are evident regarding dogs<\/strong>. But we also recommend to mark cats, even house cats,<\/strong>! It is hard to belive, but 10 times more cats get lost than dogs!<\/i><\/strong> But unfortunately too few cats
    \n get a microchip and are registered.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n Ferrets<\/strong> have to be marked aswell if you want to take them to the EU.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n To tell your own pets apart or to control the origin you may also want to mark your rabbits, guinea pigs or even birds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Is it dangerous or painfull to set a microchip?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n The needle may seem big on first sight but do not worry: if the chip is been set according to all
    \n advice we give (read it here) nothing bad can happen. The process is similar to a routine vaccination.<\/strong>
    \n Of course you should let a professional (e.g. vet) do the injection.\n<\/p>\n

    \n The chip grows together with the animal’s tissue<\/strong> so it doesn’t disturb the animal.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
