Permanent Identification for Greater Peace of Mind
Microchipping provides your pet with a permanent and reliable form of identification. If your pet becomes lost and is taken to a veterinary clinic, shelter, or authorised facility, the microchip can be scanned to retrieve its unique identification number and help connect the pet with its registered owner.
At EverCare Veterinary Clinic, we provide professional microchip implantation, microchip scanning, and assistance with pet registration. Our team carefully checks the chip number, records your pet’s details, and guides you through the registration process according to the applicable requirements in Abu Dhabi.
Microchipping may also be required for official pet registration, international travel, relocation, ownership transfer, and certain boarding or pet-care services.
Our microchipping and registration service may include:
Registration requirements and necessary documents may vary depending on the service requested and the applicable authority procedures.
We make the microchipping and registration process simple, accurate, and as comfortable as possible for your pet.
Before implanting a chip, our veterinary team scans your pet carefully to check whether a microchip is already present. If a new chip is needed, it is implanted by a qualified veterinary professional using appropriate equipment and handling techniques.
We then scan the chip again to confirm that it can be detected and that the identification number is recorded correctly. Our team also helps ensure that your pet’s details and your current contact information are entered accurately, as a microchip is most effective when it is connected to up-to-date registration records.
During your pet’s appointment, you can expect:
The implantation itself is generally quick and can often be completed during a routine veterinary appointment.

+971 56 227 8484A pet microchip is a small electronic identification device containing a unique number. It is implanted beneath the skin and can be detected using a compatible microchip scanner.
The number can then be used to locate the registration record connected to the pet and its owner.
No. A microchip does not track your pet’s location and does not contain a battery or live GPS system.
It provides a permanent identification number that can be read when the pet is physically scanned.
For dogs and cats, the microchip is usually implanted beneath the skin in a standard location around the shoulder area, according to recognised veterinary identification guidelines.
The procedure is quick and is similar to receiving an injection, although the needle used is slightly larger. Your pet may experience brief discomfort during implantation.
Microchipping can also be performed while a pet is already under anaesthesia for another procedure, such as neutering or a dental treatment.
Sedation or anaesthesia is not normally required for routine microchip implantation. However, the veterinarian may recommend a different approach if your pet is extremely anxious, difficult to handle, or already scheduled for another procedure under anaesthesia.
A microchip is designed to provide permanent identification and does not usually need to be replaced.
However, it is sensible to have the chip scanned during routine veterinary visits to confirm that it remains readable.
Scanning first helps confirm whether your pet already has a chip. Implanting another chip without checking could result in the pet having more than one identification number and create confusion in their records.
No. The microchip number must be connected to an accurate registration record containing your pet’s details and your current contact information.
An unregistered chip, or a chip connected to outdated information, may make it difficult to contact you if your pet is found.
Microchipping and accurate registration provide an important link between your pet and your contact details, helping protect them at home, during travel, and if they ever become lost. Book your pet’s microchipping and registration appointment at EverCare Veterinary Clinic today.
