What is SinPatinhas? 16u1c

O SinPatinhas is National Domestic Animal Registry System, an initiative of the Brazilian government — developed in partnership with the Federal Council of Veterinary Medicine (CFMV) — focused on ing dogs and cats from all over Brazil.
The idea is that all people who own a dog or cat their pets so that, at the end of the registration, the pet will receive its own ID with the owner's information. If the animal is microchipped, this information can also be included in the document to make it easier to the owner.
In addition to the ID, the PDF file of the Pet ID (Dog ID ou Cat ID) also has a QR code, which can be hung on the collar and redirects to the file with the owner's phone number. In this way, the Brazilian government hopes to reduce the invisibility of animals, gathering essential data for planning public animal welfare policies, such as castration, vaccination, microchipping and actions to combat abandonment and mistreatment.

- Animal Registration and Microchipping;
- Registration and identification of dogs and cats;
- Education for responsible ownership and animal rights;
- Animal health and zoonosis control.
Launched during the second week of April 2025, the platform was launched on the same day as the SinPatinhas. Anyone interested can create an ID for the cat or dog they have at home. The entire process takes about ten minutes to complete.
Benefits of animal ID (what it is for) 2j1ry

O Animal ID It works in the same way as we use our traditional ID: in addition to providing information such as name, date and city of birth, it contains information about the owner (name and phone number). The most interesting thing is that, in cases of escape or even theft of the animal, whoever finds the animal can scan the QR code present in the file made available by the Brazilian government and speak to the owner so that the return can be organized.
And, if your pet already has a microchip implanted, its number can be included in the document so that, when taken to a veterinary clinic, doctors have complete information just by typing the number into systems such as YES AC, PetLink or in other databases that may have information about the animal.
Microchip 42712w

In a second phase that has not yet been announced by the Brazilian government, campaigns will be held throughout the country to ensure that as many dogs and cats as possible are microchipped free of charge. This way, even if they are already ed on the platform SinPatinhas, tutors will be able to add this new information.
It is worth ing that the microchip does not work as a GPS, but rather as an identifier. A habit that has become common among dog and cat owners is the use of Galaxy Tags, which work for a long time and have a tracker. This way, it is possible to attach the accessories to the animals' collars and know where they are just by using a smartphone app.
