Pet's newfangled ID aid (9)

I believe the answer is:

microchip

(Other definitions for microchip that I've seen before include "produced in Silicon Valley?" , "ID for pet" , "Silicon implant" , "Tiny proportion of potato" , "Integrated circuit" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
