The Voice of Professional Implanters
Our Mission
At the Microchip Implanter Association, we are dedicated to promoting safe and ethical microchipping practices across the UK. Our mission is to ensure that all microchip implanters adhere to the highest standards of professionalism and compliance.
We exist to give microchip implanters a voice—supporting them through changing regulations, guiding compliance, and helping raise the standards across the industry.
With many different databases in operation—each with their own rules, procedures, and policies—MiA offers a clear, consistent framework that implanters can rely on. We promote best practice, ethical implantation, accurate record keeping, and better outcomes for animals, keepers, and professionals alike.
