Overview

A new microchip number is typically added when a microchip is implanted during a consultation. When a patient with an existing microchip comes in, you can check the microchip number or add a missing number to the patient's records when marking the patient as arrived. In addition, a microchip number can be added or checked from the microchip icon or in the patient details on the client and patient page.

A microchip number should be 15 characters long according to the ISO 11784 standard. However, it is also possible to save a shorter number in Provet Cloud.

If the VetEnvoy integration is used in your Provet Cloud for microchip registration, Provet Cloud prompts you to register the microchip after you have added it. See how to use the VetEnvoy integration for registering microchips:
