As evidence that a dog has been vaccinated against rabies and as a means of identification of the dog at the time dogs to be licensed, a microchip (a device of the description set out in Schedule 3 of Rabies Ordinance Regulations, Cap. 421A) is implanted.
(Note : according to the permit term granted to the permittee, dogs and cats imported must be identified by microchips which are listed on the accompanying animal health certificates before arrival.
