Permanent Identification for Your Pet’s Safety

A microchip is a tiny electronic device, about the size of a grain of rice, implanted under your pet’s skin. It carries a unique ID number readable by scanner, linking your pet to your contact details in a database. Unlike collars and tags, a microchip provides permanent, tamper-proof identification for life.

Pet Microchipping is one of the most effective ways to reunite with a lost pet. It is also mandatory for international pet travel documentation. Our pet microchip services are available for cat microchipping, dog microchipping, and all other pets at our DHA Lahore, Johar Town, and DHA Karachi branches.

Microchipping for International Pet Travel

If travelling abroad with your pet, microchipping is mandatory for most destination countries. The microchip must be ISO 11784/11785 compliant and implanted before or with the rabies vaccination not after or alongside it. If the vaccine is given first, it’s considered invalid for travel purposes, and the entire 21-day-plus process must restart from scratch. We use internationally compliant chips, get the sequencing right the first time, and guide you through the entire travel documentation process trusted vet microchipping services in Lahore and Karachi for pet owners relocating internationally.

The chip is implanted via quick injection, similar to a vaccination, between the shoulder blades. It takes seconds, requires no anaesthesia, and causes only momentary discomfort. The chip is passive — no signals, no battery, no ongoing discomfort. When scanned, it displays the unique
ID matched to your registered contact information.
