In other words, a microchip is a rice grain-sized radio-frequency identification (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Radio-frequency_identification\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">RFID<\/a>) transponder with a unique identification number. The unique ID is necessary as it carries specific information similar to a vehicle\u2019s VIN.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How microchips work is simple. Normally, a vet injects a microchip under the skin flap between your pet&#8217;s shoulder blades. Next, you\u2019ll register the chip\u2019s code and all relevant contact information with your local or national pet recovery database.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, the microchip is specific to your pet and serves as the ID regardless of location. If your pet disappears and you find it, take it to a vet or shelter. Once there, they\u2019ll use microchip (RFID) scanners to read the chip and pick up your contact information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, remember that the microchip is not a tracking device. It cannot determine nor tell you the location of your pet.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-are-gps-trackers-and-how-do-gps-trackers-work\">What are GPS Trackers and How Do GPS Trackers Work<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-4.jpg\" alt=\"Cat with blue GPS tracker\" class=\"wp-image-3194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-4-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(Cat with blue GPS tracker)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/the-best-gps-navigation-system\/#more-2950\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Global Positioning System<\/a> (GPS) trackers are tracking devices installed on an object or vehicle or worn by a person or pet. The device will then relay near real-time information about the exact location of the moving body or object. Most <a href=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/gps-tracker-2\/#more-2904\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fleet managers<\/a> use GPS trackers to locate part of the fleet, traffic conditions, and time spent on the road.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic working principle of GPS trackers is simple and relies on receivers. GPS receivers use the process of trilateration with the help of the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) network. At all times, a receiver in your GPS tracker receives microwave signals from all satellites in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Orbit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">orbit<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, a receiver will use the signals from a minimum of four GPS satellites to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Triangulation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">triangulate<\/a> and determine its precise position. However, the tracker transmits the location data to a global server instead of displaying the information on the device.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can then access your device\u2019s location, speed of movement, and even its path from the server. All this data is available via the Internet, and you can access it from a smartphone or desktop app.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"differences-between-microchips-and-gps-trackers\">Differences Between Microchips and GPS Trackers<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GPS Pet Tracker - Tracking Max\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vl5aox1y4gM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(GPS pet tracking)<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"size\">Size<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ve seen, microchips are small, grain-sized RFID implants. They are usually in bio-glass packaging of about 11 to 14 mm in length and approximately 2 mm thick.

The reason is that they house an internal battery, a cellular communication device, and tracking hardware.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"location\">Location<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Most microchips are minute devices injected into animals to help identify them when lost and found. On the other hand, GPS trackers are external, bigger, and often located on a pet\u2019s collar.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"usage\">Usage<\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-4.jpg\" alt=\"A beautiful German Shepherd with a GPS tracker on a collar\" class=\"wp-image-3193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-4-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(A beautiful German Shepherd with a GPS tracker on a collar)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microchips and GPS units work in tandem to locate a missing pet in distinct ways; they are not a replacement for one another. While a GPS may be able to locate your dog, it cannot give your contact information to local authorities, which may assist in getting him back home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, you cannot trace your pet&#8217;s location if it only has a microchip. You\u2019ll have to wait until you\u2019re contacted by an individual who gets your contact from the microchip.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"charging\">Charging<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The microchip is a long-time identification device that lasts your pet\u2019s lifetime or even beyond. It doesn\u2019t require any charging, nor does it have a power source. On the contrary, all GPS trackers require charging after some days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"microchips-vs-gps-trackers-pros-and-cons\">Microchips vs. GPS trackers: Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-5.jpg\" alt=\"A veterinarian checking a microchip implant under a dog\u2019s skin\" class=\"wp-image-3192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-5.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-5-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(A veterinarian checking a microchip implant under a dog\u2019s skin)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td>Pros<\/td><td>Cons<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Microchip<\/td><td>It\u2019s difficult to tamper with microchipsMicrochipping is painlessMicrochips don\u2019t need power sources.

Or Can you track Pet Microchips With GPS?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Microchips are not tracking devices but a way for a vet to reach you. In other words, microchips are more like your identity card or driver\u2019s license. If you lose your pet and a good samaritan finds it, they will take it to a vet for RFID scanning. It\u2019s from here that you\u2019ll receive a call or message to retrieve it from the vet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is a pet GPS tracker worth it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely. Pets wander a lot, and you\u2019re better off tracking them in real-time so that you don\u2019t risk losing them. Additionally, some GPS tracking devices allow you to set virtual safe zones to stop your pets from straying and getting lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How long will your pet\u2019s GPS tracker last?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the brand you choose, newer GPS trackers have an average battery life of 2-5 days or 2-3 weeks for the bigger ones. Generally, the lifetime of a GPS tracker depends on your pet&#8217;s activities. The more it wanders off, the more the GPS triangulates its position, thus draining the battery faster.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Does a pet microchip have a GPS in it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pet microchips lack GPS technology. Instead, they employ Radio-frequency identification (RFID) tech, which you can use to scan for data, such as the contact details of the pet owner. As such, microchips can only pinpoint exactly where your pet is if they get lost if someone calls to inform you.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>A microchip is a device that stores a 15-digit number. You\u2019ll then have to register the number or code with your national pet recovery institutions. Failure to do so means your cat will have a chip but with no contact information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you\u2019ll need to install a GPS tracker on your pet to help locate it. With technological advancement, it won\u2019t be long before we get better ways to maximize on both devices.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Microchips vs. GPS trackers, In an ever-advancing technological world, questions often arise about how to keep track of your fleet or pets.
