Anyone, anywhere in the world, can use United Pet Club's pet recovery lookup free of charge, no account needed. The Recover a Pet button at the top of every United Pet Club page opens a search that takes a microchip, tag, tattoo, or passport number. When the pet is registered with us we help you reach the owner, and live agents answer 1-800-AID-PETS around the clock.
A unique number, usually 15 digits, sits inside every pet microchip, read by scanner at a vet clinic, shelter, or animal services office. By itself the number reveals nothing about the owner; matching it against a registry is the whole point of a lookup. Enter the number, and whichever registry holds the record answers with a way to reach the owner.
Chips from any manufacturer are welcome in the United Pet Club registry, which also takes part in the AAHA universal pet microchip lookup, the cross-registry tool clinics and shelters turn to first when a stray arrives. Should a number sit outside our registry, the universal lookup names the registry that does hold it, keeping the trail warm.
Reading this as an owner rather than a finder? Registration and current details are what let a lookup lead home. Register your pet's microchip free, or start with what the free lifetime plan includes.
Nothing beats a tag with a phone number for speed. Spot a QR or printed code on the tag? Your phone camera can scan it, opening the pet's registry profile.
Microchip scanning is offered at any vet clinic, humane society, or animal services office, usually free for a found pet, and the chip number appears within seconds.
Put the chip number into the United Pet Club pet recovery lookup, or into the AAHA universal lookup to sweep every participating registry in one go.
A match with a registered pet means the registry puts you in touch with the owner. No match, and the vet or shelter can take over under your local found-animal bylaws.
ISO microchips of any brand qualify, not just the ones United Pet Club sells.
No way to scan? The code printed on a United Pet Club QR tag can be entered by hand instead.
Even the older identification methods lead home here; tattoo and pet passport numbers both work in the lookup.
There is no fee and no closing time, and the live agents at 1-800-AID-PETS can help coordinate a reunion whenever one is needed.
Get the chip number by having the pet scanned at any vet clinic or shelter, then run it through United Pet Club's free pet recovery lookup via the Recover a Pet button found on every page of unitedpetclub.com. Another route is the AAHA universal microchip lookup, where one search covers participating registries, ours among them.
Start with the collar and any tag on it, then take the dog to a vet clinic, humane society, or SPCA branch, where a free microchip scan is the norm. Put the chip number through United Pet Club's free pet recovery lookup or the AAHA universal lookup, and if keeping the dog safely is not possible, your municipal animal services is the next call, since local bylaws govern found animals in Canada. Whatever the hour, our 1-800-AID-PETS line can help coordinate a reunion.
Nothing at all. The United Pet Club registry is free to search, and looking up a found pet requires no account.
No; personal details never come out of a lookup. What it does is connect you with the registry, which then reaches the owner through the contact information on file, leaving the owner in control of what gets shared.
More common than you might guess: a chip gets implanted but never registered. From the number's prefix, a vet or shelter can sometimes trace the manufacturer and reach the clinic that bought the chip. It also makes the strongest possible case for registering your own pet's chip with United Pet Club today, free under the free lifetime plan.
Only when the owner's side is done does the finder's side of this page work. Register your pet's microchip free, and keep those contact details current.
