I wonder how it's different from chipping a cat. Those chips aren't bigger either and I'm sure you can buy the equipment from a veterinary supplier and go crazy.

Do they have different electronics?

The one I have is NFC. As far as I know the pet ones are slightly different electronics and/or protocols. I.e. I can read mine with my phone, but not my cat's.
