New Chip can read your pet's temperature |

Good
news is at hand for all those cats, dogs and rabbits who do not like having
their temperature taken rectally – and lets face it, that’s
all of them! A new microchip was recently launched, which not only carries
a unique 15-digit code, enabling your pet to be registered specifically
to you, but is also able to read your pet’s temperature.
Traditionally, the only accurate way to take a pet’s temperature was rectally. Obviously this has many disadvantages, including stress to the pet, and therefore you as their owner, it can be extremely time consuming and is one of the commonest reasons for pets to dislike a visit to the vets.
The
new chip, called Bio-Thermo, provides a fast, efficient and very accurate
way of checking your pet’s temperature. Tests have shown that it
is actually more accurate at reading your pet’s core body temperature
than using the rectal method.
This revolutionary breakthrough in technology, incorporates a thermometer and an identifier all in one chip, enabling vets to check an animal's temperature using a scanner, literally at the press of a button.
The new chips can be implanted quickly and easily in a routine appointment, and cost £30 - £10 more than the standard identichips, which are still available. This cost covers implantation and registration for the whole of your pet’s life, and gives great peace of mind.
For further information about either chip, please contact the practice.
