What is Peddymark?

The PeddyMark ID162 device is an 11.5mm x 2mm bio compatible glass capsule containing a microchip. The chip is passive and does not contain a power source therefore will effectively last for ever. The PeddyMark microchip is activated by the reader and transmits a globally unique identification number to a reader where it appears on the LCD display. The technology is standardised and conforms to ISO standard 11784/11785 and it can be used for virtually any pet.

The procedure is very simple and is no more painful than any other subcutaneous injection between the shoulder blades. A pet will not be aware of the microchip's presence under the skin once it has been implanted. It is important that only a trained Implanter or Vet carries out the microchipping.
