Microchip (animal identification) - Definition and Overview

A microchip is an identifying integrated circuit placed under the skin of a dog or cat.

Microchips have been particularly useful in the return of lost pets. They may also assist in cases where ownership of a particular animal is disputed.

Microchips are not in universal use, but they are legal requirements in some jurisdictions, such as the state of New South Wales, Australia.
