Electronic passport for a dog the size of a small rice grain. Since the beginning of the year, a pilot project on chipping dogs and cats has been launched in the capital. According to head of the veterinary Department of MSE on PVC «Astana vetservis» Erlan Sakibaev, chipping it is first necessary to identify the animal and record-keeping. In addition, this makes it easier to find a lost animal.
