The Universal Animal ID (UID) is a groundbreaking initiative developed by GAD (Global Animal Database). It serves as a permanent, unique identifier for every animal registered in the system, offering a digital “passport” that stays with them for life. It’s non-invasive, accessible, and connects animals with owners, shelters, veterinarians, and other stakeholders worldwide.
The primary goal of UID is to bridge gaps in animal identification, especially for animals without microchips. This inclusive system ensures that no animal is left without protection, fostering global animal welfare through data-driven solutions.
UID is not just a number—it’s a commitment to universal animal protection. By creating an interconnected ecosystem that involves pet owners, veterinarians, shelters, and governments, GAD aims to set a global standard for animal identification.
