The local government of Pasig City partnered with the Veterinary Services Department (VSD) to launch a free microchipping service for all pet owners in the city as part of its new 'Pet Identification Project.' The new service utilizes i-chip technology, a small, non-invasive microchip that can be inserted into pets.
Once inserted, the innovative technology contains a registered identification of the pet as well as its owner. In addition, the chip will provide details regarding each pet's vaccination history and come equipped with a thermal heat feature, which will make it easier for vets to read a pet's condition using a thermal scanner.
Overall, the new initiative aims to leverage this innovative technology to help monitor and detect various illnesses in pets, such as rabies.
