A temperature microchip is an innovative version of the standard pet microchip that also measures the pet’s body temperature during scanning. This technology combines RFID identification with health monitoring.
How Does a Temperature Microchip Work?
Implantation
Inserted under the pet’s skin using a special syringe, usually between the shoulder blades.
The procedure is the same as with a standard microchip—quick and painless.
Reading the Information
A veterinarian or owner uses an RFID scanner that supports temperature microchips.
When scanned, the microchip transmits a unique 15-digit identification number along with the temperature reading.
Displaying Temperature Data
The temperature data appears on the scanner screen or in a mobile app, if the device supports digital integration.
Temperature is displayed in Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).
Advantages of a Temperature Microchip
✔ Dual functionality – combines identification and health monitoring.
✔ Quick temperature measurement – convenient for veterinarians, owners, and shelters.
✔ Less stress for the pet – eliminates the need for traditional thermometers, which may cause discomfort.
✔ Useful for monitoring chronic conditions – especially in elderly or sick pets.
Who Uses Temperature Microchips?
🔹 Veterinary clinics – for monitoring pet health during checkups.
🔹 Animal shelters and rescue organizations – for easier health assessments.
🔹 Pet owners – for convenient at-home health monitoring.
Should You Use a Temperature Microchip?
If you want to maximize the benefits of microchipping, especially for pets that need regular health monitoring, a temperature microchip is an excellent choice. It helps detect potential health issues earlier and reduces stress during veterinary visits.
