ZooChip

and Alpacas

More and more we are being asked about microchipping alpacas and our range of microchipping products are
all entirely relevant to the needs of the alpaca owner no matter what size of herd you have or are looking to build.

The ZooChip, FDX-B microchip is used throughout the world in zoos, farming situations, rescues and by a
growing number of alpaca farmers and smaller breeders. The chip is one of the smallest on the market which
gives the dual benefit of less discomfort for the animal at time of implantation and tests have shown, smaller chips are
less likely to 'migrate' (move from the implant site).

We have several scanners that can reads the chips but two stand out for different reasons. PetScan and detect-a-chip.
 Both scanners will read most of the chips you are ever likely to come across but detect-a-chip will also read the
Avid Encrypted chip that is sometimes found in alpacas imported from the Americas. 

Some months ago we, jointly with Philip O' Conor of Atlantic Alpacas, published an article on microchipping alpacas in Alpaca magazine.
I am very pleased to re-produce the article on a linked page.  The piece will hopefully give you some interesting information about
how, why and where to chip your animals but IT DOES NOT give you license to implant microchips into your animals.
Full details about implant training is available on request.  Click [here] to read the article!
