ResQ™ Pet Identification System

The resQ™ pet identification system is a safe and convenient ISO-compliant microchip system designed to help reunite lost pets with their owners.

ResQ is the first ISO-compliant microchip system for companion animals available in the United States. It utilizes technology recommended by most major pet welfare organizations including the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)1.

Key Benefits1:

  • ResQ Microchip
    • Each microchip contains an individual, preprogrammed code that is permanent, unique, and cannot be altered.
    • The microchip is approximately the size of a grain of rice, which is implanted into a pet using a single-use syringe.
    • The microchip is unbreakable, does not require a battery, and is engineered to last a pet’s lifetime.
    • A resQ microchip can be read by any ISO-compliant scanning device worldwide.
  • ResQ Scanner
    • The resQ pet identification system offers a sophisticated scanner available for U.S. shelters and veterinarians that can recognize all brands of tested microchips currently sold in the U.S.2, including encrypted and unencrypted 125 kHz microchips, as well as other ISO-compliant 134.2 kHz microchips. To further support ISO-compliance, Bayer and its partners Datamars SA and Banfield, The Pet Hospital®, are donating 20,000 resQ scanners to shelters across the country.
  • PetLink™ Pet Registration Database
    • resQ is supported by a no-cost pet registration database in the U.S. that allows for a true, no-cost registration and lifetime updates.
    • PetLink™ provides 24/7 customer support, including contact numbers for non-resQ microchip manufacturers and protection for pets regardless of their country of origin. To learn more, visit www.petlink.net.
