New nano transponder smashes size barriers

Trovan, Ltd. is pleased to present a revolutionary development in microchip size: the new TROVAN Nano Transponder is fully 40 percent shorter than conventionally sized microchips.

Nano Transponders can be fit into objects that are even smaller in size than those that could be tagged with conventional microchips.
In the area of animal identification, the advantage is an improved standard of care for the animals: smaller size equals less trauma on implantation (the specially designed needle measures only 1.6 mm dia.)

The new TROVAN Nano Transponder is available in two presentations: packaged in non-sterile bulk form and in presterilized needles in individual blister packs.

Taking your Pet Down Under?

In an earlier discussion on international travel with pets, microchipping requirements for the European Union were outlined in detail here.

Australia is another country that requires microchipping of all imported dogs and cats. If you are planning to travel to Australia, the animal must be microchipped before it receives its rabies vaccinations, typically 210 days before scheduled travel. The official Australian Quanrantine Inspection Service application form can be obtained here:

Section 4 requires microchip identfiication fo the animal, and states that TROVAN is one of the acceptable microchip types.
