microchipped

Given tracking technology

Microchipped describes an animal or object that has had a microchip implanted or embedded in it.

Pet owners commonly microchip dogs and cats for identification if they get lost: All shelter animals are microchipped before adoption.

The chip, about the size of a grain of rice, stores data that can be read by a scanner.
