(Valenzuela City PIO / YouTube / MANILA BULLETIN) Under the ValPets program, Valenzuela residents can have their pets microchipped and give them a permanent ID. The registration to avail of the free microchip implants will start on March 13. The microchip implants use RFID (radio frequency identification) technology, the city government added. “In the event that their pets go missing, personnel from the City Veterinary Services Office will only have to scan the microchip implant to identify the owner, as well as other details about the dog,” the local government explained in a YouTube video. “The details of the missing dogs will then be posted on valpets.appcase.net website, where pet owners can visit if their pets go missing,” it added.
