Microchips 12mm (Standard) – reliable chips for large dogs and cats
( number of products: 3 )Standard Microchip 12mm - The classic with maximum read range
When identification certainty and lightning-fast scanning count, classic solutions win. The 12mm Standard Microchip is the world's most popular and proven RFID transponder format. Why is it still number one for larger pets? You can't cheat the laws of physics – a larger implant allows for a larger antenna coil. This directly translates to the strongest return signal and flawless reading, even through thick skin, dense undercoat, or heavy muscle tissue.
At Bluscan, we offer a premium veterinary product: absolutely sterile, equipped with an anti-migration coating, and fully certified (ICAR, ISO 11784/11785 compliant). It is a safe identification chip for medium and large dog breeds, as well as larger cats. If your patient's target weight exceeds 5-10 kg, the Standard version is the most optimal choice for safe microchipping.
Application - Where does the 12mm work best?
The Standard version is the foundation of identification in veterinary clinics and breeding facilities:
- Cynology (Medium and large breeds): German Shepherds, Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Great Danes, Mastiffs. Their thick skin and dense fur present no barrier to the reader.
- Felinology (Large cats): Breeds like the Maine Coon or Norwegian Forest Cat comfortably accept this implant size.
- Shelters and Foundations: Due to the best price-to-quality ratio, it is the ideal identification chip for mass dog admissions.
- Smart Home: Excellent compatibility with RFID pet doors and automatic selective pet feeders.

FAQ - Questions about 12mm standard chips
The needle in the 12mm set is made of surgical steel and laser-sharpened, which facilitates a precise puncture. In larger pets (like Shepherds or large cats), which have much thicker skin and subcutaneous tissue, the injection is felt similarly to a standard vaccination and is generally very well tolerated.
Technically yes, but as experts, we do not recommend it. For small and delicate animals (e.g., Maltese or Yorkshire Terrier puppies), the 12mm applicator can be unnecessarily large and generate stress. For miniature breeds, you should definitely choose the gentler 8mm Mini Microchip or 7mm Nano Microchip.
Our products operate in a fully open system. They carry an ICAR Certificate, guaranteeing the worldwide uniqueness of the number. This means that after the chipping procedure, the veterinarian or the owner can enter the 15-digit code into any chosen national or European animal database (e.g., Europetnet).
Need a gentler solution for small patients?
If you work in a clinic or cattery and your patient is a small cat, a miniature breed puppy, or an exotic animal, the standard 12mm needle will be too large.
Check out our modern "Low Stress" solutions: the 8mm Mini Microchip and the smallest on the market, the Ultra-thin 7mm Nano Microchip.
