Microchipping of pets is relatively unknown in India although a very popular concept in European countries such as the UK. However, pet owners in India are slowly warming up to the idea.

While one or two companies have attempted to microchip pets for their owners, the exercise is futile, as there is no database of microchipped pets In India, which can be easily accessed by anybody. In the absence of such a database, people must rely on the finder to have the pet scanned by a vet. A database of microchipped pets with photos of the pet and details of the owner is desirable to have.

This is precisely what Bangalore-based Whizzles Pet Care Pvt. Ltd. offers. The company takes pride in being the “first and most sought-after Pet Microchip Registry & Recovery solution in India. Owned by Mr. Punith Kumar, a businessman who runs the Bluebird Group of companies which has multiple businesses, Whizzles makes it mandatory for pet owners to microchip their pets and register the pet’s details in their global database.

The company invites pet owners to make the best of their inaugural offer which lasts till September 30th. Microchipping is painless for the pet, and most veterinary doctors possess the scanners that are required to scan lost and found pets for the information-bearing chip.

This kind of a service was the need of the hour in India which is set to emerge as one of the largest pet-markets in the world, with the highest population of pets that include dogs, cats, parrots, rabbits, etc. Further, domesticated farm animals such as cows, buffaloes and horses can also be microchipped to prevent straying and theft.
