Quality matters: these microchips are manufactured in Germany using bioglass encapsulation to ensure long-term stability and consistent readability. Each transponder carries a unique worldwide ID and has been tested individually for scan response.

What you get: a 20-pack of implantable bioglass transponders and accompanying single-use, sharp implantation needles. The kit is supplied sterile and intended for single application per needle. An anti-drop design keeps the chip secured in the applicator until implantation.

Materials and construction: the tag is glass-coated to minimize migration beneath the skin once implanted. The anti-drop mechanism prevents the transponder from detaching inside the applicator prior to use.

Standards and compatibility: chips conform to ISO 11784/11785 (FDX-B) at 134.2 kHz, so they are readable by all FDX-B compatible scanners worldwide.

Size guidance: 1.4 x 8 mm units are intended for cats, small puppies and similarly small animals such as chickens, ducks and owls. Larger animals, including big dogs and livestock, can use the larger 2.12 x 12 mm option. For very small species (tiny fish, mice, hamsters, snakes, frogs, pigeons) the 1.25 x 7 mm variant is recommended.

Registration: for increased odds of reunion if a pet is lost, register your pet’s unique ID in a global database. A recommended option is Animal ID via the Pet Care App, which provides broad search visibility and round-the-clock support.

Expiration note: the printed five-year date on packaging refers to the injectable components’ shelf life, not the microchip. The transponder itself does not have a functional lifespan and is designed to last the animal’s life.

VerdictA reliable, German-made bioglass microchip kit that meets ISO FDX-B standards and scans consistently. The pack is suited to cats, small puppies and other small animals; chips are lifetime identifiers while the injection components carry a separate expiration. Good for breeders, rescues and owners who are comfortable performing implants after proper instruction.

Angie Waddell 5/5

Simple for first-timers

Saved money by doing the litter after watching a vet demo. The applicator gives a clear view, was easy to handle, and worked well for six pups.

Jennifer Christensen 5/5

Performs like higher-end options

Matches the performance of pricier alternatives in my experience. Chips scan reliably and meet expectations for reunification services.

Needles sharp and dependable

All needles were sharp and insertion went smoothly. Easy to administer and a sensible value — I’ll order more.
