Why is microchipping important for cats in Dubai?

Microchipping is a quick, one-time procedure where a tiny, biocompatible chip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted just under your cat’s skin between the shoulder blades. Each chip carries a unique identification number that a scanner can read and, once registered with your details, provides a permanent link between you and your cat. Unlike collars that can break or slip off, a microchip offers a lifelong, tamper-proof form of identification recognised by veterinarians, municipalities, and international travel authorities.


In Dubai and across the UAE, microchipping is mandatory for all cats to comply with municipal regulations. Kittens can be microchipped once they’re old enough for their first vaccines, while adult, imported, or newly adopted cats should be microchipped or have their details updated as soon as possible. This legal requirement not only proves ownership but also makes it far easier to reunite you with your pet if they’re ever lost or stolen and streamlines travel and export procedures by providing official, verifiable identification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a microchip do for a cat?

It gives your pet a permanent ID number stored under the skin. Vets and shelters can scan the chip to access your contact details, making it easier to return a lost cat to you.

Can I track my cat with this chip?

No. Microchips don’t have GPS tracking. They only provide identification that can be read at a veterinary clinic or shelter to help reunite you with your cat.

Is microchipping a legal requirement in Dubai?

Yes. All cats must be microchipped under Dubai’s pet regulations. It helps ensure proper identification, supports responsible pet ownership, and facilitates reunions with lost pets.

What happens if my cat isn’t microchipped?

If your cat goes missing, it will be harder to prove ownership or locate you. Collars and tags can be lost, but a chip stays with your cat for life. Not microchipping also breaks local rules.

Are there any risks or side effects?

The procedure is very safe. The chip is tiny, and most cats show no reaction. In rare cases, mild swelling or irritation at the injection site can appear but usually goes away quickly.

How long does the chip last?

A single implant lasts for your cat’s entire life. It doesn’t need charging, batteries, or replacement.
