It is understood that in order to solve the dog ownership disputes, dog injury liability attribution and other issues, "Chongqing City Dog Management Regulations" established a dog individual identification system to trace the source of the dog, dog breeders in the application for dog registration, should be in accordance with the provisions of the dog individual identification through electronic identification implantation or biotechnology identification and other means.
Why has licensing a dog become a necessity?
According to 199IT data, China now has the second highest percentage of dog owners in the world, with at least six out of ten people owning a dog.
Also according to a set of data released by the Shenzhen CDC last year: from February to August 2021, the number of people exposed to canine injuries in the city reached 112,000, all of whom were licked, scratched or bitten by cute pets, resulting in exposure to canine injuries. More than 90% (103,000 people) were bitten by dogs and cats, of which 47,000 (41.7%) were injured by dogs.
The above is just one city's data. According to CCTV news, by incomplete statistics, 40 million people are bitten by cats and dogs in China every year.
However, dog bites are commonplace, as long as the wound is promptly treated and rabies vaccination can be given. But the determination of responsibility for hit-and-run dogs and their owners has evolved into a social issue.
On the other hand, another benefit of microchipping dogs is that it helps owners to quickly retrieve lost dogs.
Dogs injected with microchips can be automatically identified by identification equipment and synchronized with the dog service app, which in turn can retrieve dog files, and the "dog brigade" can easily access dog registration information, thus quickly helping lost dogs find homes.
According to market data, China's annual sales of live dogs and cats excluding adoption and gifts exceeds 5 million, with regulations and other hard measures continue to fall into place, the low-frequency RFID pet tag market prospects are quite promising.
