A microchip implant can help recover a pet if and only if the pet winds up at an animal shelter or a veterinarian’s office. When shelter staff members see the stray animal without a collar, they run an RFID reader over its flesh to look for a microchip implant. If the pet has been chipped, the implant will emit a 10-digit code that can be looked up in a registry to identify and contact the owner.
