ProID® ISO Microchips

The ProID^® ISO Microchip provides permanent identification to help ensure a lost horse, dog, or cat is safely reunited with you. This ISO-compliant microchip is ideal for equines of any age or size and meets international travel requirements.

Designed for easy implantation, this microchip features an extra-sharp, slim 15-gauge needle and ClickFinish™ technology, which confirms proper placement.

The ProID^® ISO Microchip with Pre-Paid Registration includes lifetime enrollment in either the Equine Protection Registry or the BuddyID^® Registry for companion animals.

If you purchased a microchip without Pre-Paid Registration included, the Pre-Paid Registration Form (sold separately) ensures a one-time cost with no additional fees or renewals.

If your microchipped horse or pet ever goes missing, activate SearchALERT™ via your phone for added security.

Most international regulations require ISO microchips, which operate at 134.2 kHz to comply with ISO 11784 standards.

All ProID^® Microchips come with a lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and peace of mind.

FAQs

What’s the Difference Between the ProID® ISO and the 840 USA Microchip?

The ProID® ISO microchip and the 840 USA chip both help owners and breeders identify animals for a safe return. However, they differ in their standards and applications. ISO-compatible microchips must meet qualifications set by the International Organization for Standardization, making them an excellent option for global pet identification. A ProID® ISO microchip typically operates at 134.2 kHz, which can function internationally to make it compatible across numerous countries and organizations.

840 USA chips adhere to standards from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and operate at 125kHz, making them ideal for use only within the United States. While both chips offer permanent identification, the ProID® ISO microchip has broader compatibility and adheres to global standards, making it a versatile choice for travelers or those who need international identification methods.

How Does a ProID® ISO Microchip Work?

ProID® ISO microchips use radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology, which allows them to communicate wirelessly with compatible readers through the following steps:

• Structure: The ProID® ISO microchip is a small device containing a microchip and an antenna. The microchip has a unique identification number, and the antenna communicates with RFID readers.
• Powering up: The RFID reader emits a low-frequency signal to activate the microchip when it is within range.
• Data transmission: Once you activate the microchip, it will transmit its identification number back to the reader through radio waves.
• Reading the information: The RFID reader will receive the signal from the microchip and decode the ID number. The number is then cross-referenced with a database containing information about the individual or animal associated with the chip.
• Accessing data: The database may include ownership and medical history for quick identification without manual entry.

Is the ProID® ISO Microchip Safe?

The ProID® ISO microchip is safe for animals as it uses biocompatible materials, which means it does not cause adverse reactions after being implanted under the skin. The microchip undergoes rigorous testing to meet safety standards and limit the risk of infection or discomfort before and after implantation. 

An ISO microchip for dogs also does not contain any batteries or moving parts, which means it does not need maintenance. The ProID® ISO microchip is a reliable and secure method for permanent identification without negatively impacting the dog's health.

How Long Does the ProID® ISO Microchip Last?

The ProID® ISO microchip can last the animal's life span, with most lasting 20 years or more. Once implemented, the chip does not require any power sources or maintenance as it draws power from the electromagnetic field generated by RFID readers.

The durable, biocompatible materials help protect the microchip from degrading in the body, so it remains stable and functional over time. It's essential to register the microchip and keep the information in the database up to date for effective identification.

How Can I Tell if a Microchip Is ISO Compliant?

Use the following criteria to determine if you have an ISO-compliant microchip:

1. Check the packaging for markings such as ISO 11784 and ISO 11785.
2. Consult the manufacturer for information on their website or product brochures.
3. Review technical specifications for relevant features like a 134.2 kHz frequency.
4. Verify that the microchip is compliant with ISO-compatible RFID readers.
