AMICUS Pet Database: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Veterinarians in Switzerland can use this national database to register and identify dogs through a centralized system.
The AMICUS Pet Database is a national registry used for the identification and registration of dogs within Switzerland. This system serves as the official digital record for tracking dog data through a centralized national database.
Who it's for
This database is designed specifically for veterinary professionals. It is intended for all veterinarians who are involved in the official registration of dogs. This ensures that those performing the necessary identification procedures have the tools required to maintain the national registry.
What you get
By using this system, you gain access to the national database for dog identification and registration. This provides a centralized way to manage the data required for the Hunderegister, which is the local term for this type of dog registry. This access allows veterinarians to ensure that every dog they treat is correctly documented in the national system.
What it costs you
There is no monetary fee for veterinarians to access this system; it is free for professional use. However, there is a requirement regarding your professional standing: you must use your specific professional login credentials to access the database. This ensures that only qualified veterinarians are making changes to the national records.
The catch to know
The most important rule for users is the timing of data entry. You must update the database immediately after you perform the microchipping of a dog. This requirement is essential to ensure that the identification information is current and that there are no delays in the official record of the animal.
How to apply
- Confirm that you hold the necessary professional credentials to access veterinary databases.
- Access the official portal to log in to the system.
- Use your professional credentials to sign in to the registry.
- Enter the required identification details for the dog following the microchipping procedure.
