The Thermochip is suitable for foals and horses without microchips, complying with UK regulations.

Thermochip is the result of the hard work our vets are doing to develop groundbreaking technological advancements to help improve equine health and welfare.

The chip not only benefits horse owners but helps keep our vets safe.

You can detect and read the horse’s temperature by scanning it with a compatible microchip reader, available to purchase whether you are a vet, or a horse or yard owner.”
