Overview
A microchip implant is an identifying integrated circuit placed under the skin of a dog. The chip, about the size of a large grain of rice, uses passive radio-frequency identification technology, and is also known as a PIT tag. Standard dog microchips are typically 11–13 mm long and 2 mm in diameter.
