The number of registered
animals is growing every day
Published: Jan 27, 2025

Electronic animal marking has been gaining popularity for several years now. We won’t elaborate on the benefits today, as the topic is quite well known: above all, it facilitates animal identification, helping to prevent the unpleasant consequences of a pet getting lost or running away.
Currently, the market offers a huge number of microchips and applicators for their implantation. But how to choose a device that ensures the highest level of safety, durability, and reliability? In this context, it is worth mentioning organizations that safeguard the quality and safety of both animals and transponder manufacturers. One of the largest is ICAR (International Committee for Animal Recording). This organization deals, among other things, with certification and accreditation of companies and institutions operating in the field of animal registration.
ICAR is an institution whose certificates guarantee quality and safety. For a product to receive such a certificate, it must undergo a series of rigorous tests. A positive test result leads to the official registration of the device and the assignment of a unique manufacturer or product code. When purchasing devices for electronic animal identification, it is therefore worth checking whether the manufacturer (or a specific product) holds the relevant certificates – this is the best guarantee of high quality.
RFOG POLAND has been implementing modern technologies in various industries for many years, and one of its pillars is the production of devices for electronic animal marking. Extensive experience and cooperation with trusted business partners make RFOG POLAND products stand out for their high quality while maintaining affordable prices.
This year, the company not only distributes microchips but also manufactures them. With the well-being of animals and its own development in mind, RFOG POLAND has also applied to ICAR for certification of its new devices. This process has brought long-awaited results – the official ICAR website has published a certificate confirming the highest quality of products sold under the RFOG POLAND logo.
The company’s offer includes a wide range of microchips, including the so-called MICRO (1.25 mm x 7 mm) – the smallest available on the market. Additionally, RFOG POLAND offers various microchip readers: from small, handy scanners (perfect for identifying dogs or cats) to professional models with greater range, ideal, for example, for handling cattle or pigs.
For pet owners, the most important issue is usually their safety. Simply deciding on animal registration is a great step that significantly protects us in the event of a pet’s escape or loss. However, it is also important to choose the right database in which the microchip number (and thus our pet’s data) will be registered.
Not all databases charge a one-time fee only. Some require a subscription to keep the entry active. It is worth checking in advance whether a given database requires a recurring “subscription.”
The device should be matched to the size of the animal. Then the procedure is minimally invasive and usually painless.
Be sure to check whether the microchip has the necessary approvals, including ICAR certification. This guarantees the quality and reliability of the device.
The implantation should be carried out by an experienced veterinarian with the proper equipment and knowledge.
The best companies involved in electronic animal marking and experienced veterinary clinics offer top-quality products and services, which translates into pet safety. It is also worth reading reviews from other users – this is often the fastest way to find a trusted manufacturer or registration database.
Finally, remember one thing: marking an animal is only the first step. Be sure to register its microchip number in the appropriate database, such as WORLDPETNET.com.
This way, you can be sure that if someone finds your lost pet, they will be able to quickly access the data and help reunite it with its owner.
ICAR guarantees the quality and safety of microchips and readers – products must pass rigorous tests, which ensures reliability and international recognition of the certificate.
RFOG POLAND is a Polish manufacturer of microchips and readers that has recently obtained ICAR certification. Thanks to many years of experience and its own production, it offers high-quality solutions at affordable prices, including the smallest microchips on the market (1.25 mm x 7 mm).
The key is to match the chip size to the animal, ensure that the product has ICAR certification, and entrust implantation to an experienced veterinarian. After the procedure, be sure to register the chip in a reputable database to make it easier to reunite the pet with its owner if needed.



Marking animals with a microchip is the most durable, effective and completely safe method of quick and reliable identification. Every transponder (chip) has a unique number which enables instant identification of the animal and its owner, helping them reunite faster. However, it is important to remember that a chip is just a transponder with an encoded number. It is not a tracking device and contains no data about the animal or the owner! Therefore, in order to identify a chipped dog or cat, it is necessary that a microchip be registered in a national marked animal database...

One of the most important tools in ensuring animal safety is the chip database. It allows for the quick and efficient recovery of lost pets, which is crucial for protecting their health and well-being.
The introduction of microchipping has significantly improved the effectiveness of efforts to locate lost animals, reducing stress for both owners and their four-legged friends. Registration in the chip database is increasingly required by local regulations, further highlighting the importance of this technology in ensuring comprehensive care for animals.
