Mumbai NGO Launches Pet Microchipping Project for Permanent Digital Identity
JeevOne Welfare Foundation has started putting tiny identification chips under pets’ skin.
The first camp took place in Kharghar and included about 25 dogs.
Each chip has a special number connected to an online record.
The record can include the animal’s medical history and its guardian’s contact details.
A scanner can read the chip if an animal is lost.
Unlike a collar, the chip cannot easily fall off or be removed.
The project may also help rescue groups track vaccinations and sterilisation.
JeevOne wants to expand the program to pets and stray animals in more parts of India.
The NGO says the system could help reduce abandonment and improve reunions.
JeevOne Welfare Foundation implanted microchips in around 25 pet dogs at its first camp in Kharghar.
The biocompatible chips are placed beneath the skin of dogs and cats and carry unique identification numbers.
Each chip links to a database containing records such as medical history, lineage and guardian contact information.
RFID scanners at veterinary clinics, shelters and civic centers can help identify lost or separated animals.
JeevOne plans to expand the initiative to urban centers across Maharashtra and eventually include companion and stray animals nationally.
