As pet ownership grows, so do concerns over dog ownership disputes and liability for dog-related incidents. According to Article 1245 of the Chinese Civil Code, pet owners bear legal responsibility for damages caused by their animals. To enhance pet management and accountability, China has promoted RFID microchipping for dogs since 2017. Cities such as Suzhou, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, and Chongqing have implemented regulations requiring RFID implantation before dog registration.
Benefits of RFID Dog Identification
Accurate Identification & Ownership Binding
RFID microchips store a unique 15-digit code linked to the owner’s details, ensuring clear ownership and reducing disputes.Faster Lost Dog Recovery
Animal shelters and veterinary clinics can quickly reunite lost pets with their owners by scanning the chip.Deterrence Against Abandonment
Traceability discourages owners from abandoning dogs, helping to reduce stray populations.Medical Record Storage
The chip records health and vaccination history, aiding veterinarians in providing timely and effective treatment.
RFID Microchip Features & Implantation
RFID dog Tags are small, subcutaneous implants with a lifespan of up to 20 years. They come in a sterile, single-use medical syringe, ensuring a safe and painless implantation process. These chips do not have GPS tracking capabilities, ensuring owner privacy. Only authorized personnel can access the data using professional scanners connected to a secure “Smart Dog Management Service Platform.”
RFID Scanner for Enforcement & Registration
Law enforcement and pet control officers use handheld RFID chip readers to check dog ownership, vaccination records, and licensing status. These scanners support Bluetooth and USB connectivity for quick data transmission, ensuring efficient pet registration enforcement and public safety monitoring.
By implementing RFID dog identification, cities enhance pet management, reduce stray dog issues, and improve overall pet welfare.
