Europetnet discussed identification and registration of pets with DG Sante
On January 9, 2024, a meeting took place between the Europetnet Board and DG Sante, focusing on the future of pet welfare and traceability of pets in the European Union. This discussion revolved around the upcoming revision of legislation concerning dogs and cats, particularly regarding their welfare and tracking.
This meeting was key in aligning political goals for the new legislation and finding common ground. Europetnet, in collaboration with FECAVA and FVE, has been a staunch advocate for mandatory microchipping and registration of all dogs and cats in a centralized database before EU-wide registration. This meeting was a timely opportunity to further these objectives.
Europetnet, already a pivotal link connecting national and regional databases across 17 EU Member States, brought to the table vital issues such as database interoperability and the drafting of delegated acts with specific national database requirements. The possibility of Europetnet’s existing system serving as a model for the forthcoming technical requirements was also a topic of consideration.
Europetnet is committed to developing a comprehensive position paper to contribute to the new regulation. This initiative will be undertaken in close collaboration with FECAVA and FVE, underscoring their dedication to enhancing the welfare and traceability of pets across the EU.

ReplyGood morning, my name is Giulio Vivian, with my partner we are owners or rather guardians for the reasons that I will explain in this email, of a French bulldog named Martino. in the first year of his age we presented ourselves at the ATS Lecco offices to provide Martino with the documentation for expatriation. On this occasion it turned out that the CHIP installed on Martino provided incorrect information both on the owner and on the type and breed of dog.
To make a long story short, over the next two years I contacted the kennel, the veterinarian who installed the CHIP in the name of the owner of the kennel, and the various names who in the following months appeared to be owners of Martino in different regions and who replied that they did not own no dog.
Exhausted by the situation, I turned to the office responsible for managing the microchips of the ATS in Lecco. Having explained the situation and presented the documentation accumulated over the months, they immediately told me that there was a serious anomaly and that they would resolve the problem shortly. After 2 weeks of silence they replied that they couldn’t do anything and that I had to show up in Naples to ask Martino’s current owner to give up the property. Asking advice from an animal rights association, I finally presented myself at the Lecco police headquarters with all the documentation to draw up a regular complaint against unknown persons but I was almost laughed at and, following my insistence, I was seen as being passed over to the side of the counterfeiter.
Currently, my partner and I have given up on providing Martino with a passport, and we will suffer the consequences of hosting, feeding and taking care of a dog that was never owned by us.
I can provide all the documentation of what I wrote, starting from the health booklet to the various printouts of the reading of the microchips to the statements from my veterinarian to the payment of the dog itself to the kennel, to the letters from our lawyer sent to the actors of this absurd story.
I am writing you this e-mail because after four years I sincerely wonder if there is anyone in this country who is interested in the fact that there is an ongoing embezzlement of canine chips (coincidentally of breeds that have a fair economic value), Which can certainly raise the suspicion that there is an organized animal racket involving several regions throughout Italy from north to south.
I thank anyone reading in advance if they take to heart not so much Martino’s situation but rather a problem that can involve dozens if not hundreds of pets and their legitimate owners who may be unaware of the fact that they may incur fines and complaints.
I leave my number below in case you want to ask me for information.
Best regards
Giulio Vivian
