Microchipping is not a trivial matter!

Every year, more than 10'000 cats go missing in Switzerland. A microchip greatly increases the chance of a safe return home.

Every year, more than 10’000 cats go missing.

A chip increases the chance that a lost or missing cat can be brought back home. It can also be used to easily control access through a cat flap. In November 2023, vets are offering microchipping and registration with Anis at reduced rates. Book an appointment now!

With approximately 2 million animals, the cat is by far the most popular pet in Switzerland. However, more than 10’000 cats go missing every year. If a cat has a microchip implanted and is registered with Anis, animal shelters and other institutions can easily identify the owner. With the Amici app, cat owners can also conveniently report the loss or finding of a chipped cat.

Through the cat flap with the chip

Microchipping cats also offers advantages in everyday life: cat flaps equipped with the appropriate sensor can be configured so that the owner's cat can come and go during freely selectable times, while other cats and unwanted visitors are kept outside.

Microchipping cats is cheaper in November

Together with the Swiss Association for Small Animal Medicine (SVK), Identitas AG is once again launching a campaign in November this year for discounted microchipping at Swiss small animal veterinary practices. All you need to do is book an appointment at your pet practice in good time. The exact pricing is at the discretion of each individual practice, but a discount of approximately 20% can generally be expected.
