Usually microchips are the best form of ID for a pet BUT unfortunately here in Qatar there are only one or two places that have the scanners to read the chips. The databases are also held overseas but can still be be used to trace owners it just takes a while.
If a pet is found it is always best to take it along to the vets (Qatar Veterinary Surgery aka The Animal Care Centre does have a scanner to read chips) just in case.
Currently the Animal Resource Department is looking at our proposal for the EU pet passport scheme, if this is implemented microchips will be a necessary part of the scheme and all pets will have to be chipped and registered, thereby increasing scanning facilities.
QAWS does have an engraving machine for ID tgs, please if you don't already have one contact us - call 528 6335
