ALL ABOUT THE INDI
Because indi mini-chips are only 8mm long, they have a smaller antenna than a traditional 12mm microchip – and a smaller 15 gauge implantation needle. By nature, the smaller antenna has a somewhat shorter read range than a standard-sized microchip. Since the scanner has to be closer to the pet to detect and read a minichip, please consider the following before choosing any minichip:
- To ensure a microchip is readable for the life of the pet, it is critically important to consider the adult characteristics of the pet when choosing a microchip for a puppy or kitten.
- The indi minichip is ideal for smooth coated, thinner skinned dogs and cats, birds, guinea pigs, ferrets, etc.
- This product is NOT recommended for horses, pets with dense or long coats, pets with thick folds of skin or in pets with a potential to become obese.
