All European Union Member Countries and many of the other countries of the world require a microchip must first be implanted in the
animal to identify it. The ISO (International Standards Organization) requires that the microchip meet specifications 11784/11785.
This is a 15 digit non-encrypted microchip operating at 134.2 kHz. This is the microchip for which veterinarians and animal shelters
in Europe are most likely to have compatible readers. If the microchip does not conform to either of these ISO Standards, it may not
be able to be read by a standard microchip reader when the animal is checked at the time of travel to the UK or to a European PETS
(EU) country. It further means that if your pet is lost while in another country, the animal shelter or veterinarian who finds the
pet may not be able to access the database and arrange for the pets return to its owner. If your pet has a different microchip we
recommend you carry your own scanner.
To the best of our ability, we ensure that recommendations given on www.PetTravel.com reflect the current regulations. We cannot
predict how a given Country may enforce these regulations. Noncompliance may result in the need to make arrangements to put the pet
into quarantine upon arrival in the EU, or return the pet to the country of origin. We suggest that you minimize the disruptions
that may occur by following the rules of the country you are visiting.
