WHY IT MATTERS

A microchip is where lost pets find their way home

In a busy city like Dubai, pets can slip out of sight in seconds. A microchip is what closes that gap, here's what that actually means for your pet.

Permanent identification

Unlike a collar or tag, a microchip can't fall off, fade, or get removed. It sits under the skin for your pet's entire life, so even years later, if they're ever lost, a simple scan brings up your details.

ISO compliant

Every chip we use meets the 11784/11785 international standard, the same standard recognised by vet clinics, shelters, and customs authorities worldwide, so your pet stays identifiable wherever they end up.

Legally required

Microchipping is mandatory in the UAE under Federal Law No. 22, and that includes indoor pets. Registration renews annually with vaccinations, managed through the Aleef app or Dubai Now.

Travel ready

If you ever relocate or travel with your pet, a valid microchip is required before any pet passport, export certificate, or import permit can be issued, so this step often comes before the rest of the paperwork can even begin.

AED 270 covers the microchip and same-day Dubai Municipality registration. The chip itself is designed to last your pet's lifetime, while Dubai Municipality registration renews annually alongside your pet's vaccinations.

Everything You Need to Know

Questions? We're here to help

Can I track my pet with a microchip?

No, microchips aren't GPS trackers and don't show real-time location. If you want that, a GPS-enabled collar, tag, or tracker is the better option.

Do indoor pets need microchipping?

Yes. Microchipping is recommended and required for all pets in Dubai, including those that stay indoors, since even indoor pets can escape unexpectedly.

What happens to a microchip when a pet dies?

The microchip itself isn't removed; it simply becomes inactive once you update the registration. It's worth letting the registry (and us) know when a pet has passed, so the record doesn't stay listed as active, which matters especially if you later adopt another pet and want to avoid any confusion between records.

Is microchipping mandatory worldwide?

It depends on what you mean. For pet ownership, requirements vary a lot; the UK, most of the EU, and Australia all mandate it, while others, including the US, have no federal law at all. For international travel, though, nearly every destination requires an ISO-compliant microchip, regardless of what your home country requires for ownership.

Do I need to update my pet's microchip details if I move or change my number?

Yes. A microchip is only useful if the contact details linked to it are current. If you move house or change your phone number, let us know and we'll update your pet's registration record.

How can you tell if a pet has a microchip?

A universal scanner is run over the pet, usually between the shoulder blades where chips are typically placed. If a chip is present, the scanner reads its unique number, which we can then check against the registry to find the owner's details.
