Free registration, and more if you want it
Every pet gets free, lifetime microchip registration through United Pet Club. Upgraded plans stack on extra recovery tools for owners who want them.
What's included with the free lifetime plan
The free lifetime plan ties your contact information to your pet's microchip number and keeps that record active for as long as you own your pet. There's no renewal fee and no expiry date. If your dog or cat is chipped but still unregistered, free microchip registration is the quickest way to close that gap, and our guides for registering a dog and registering a cat walk through the process step by step.
At the free level, you get owner email alerts: a message every time someone looks up your pet's microchip number, so you find out the moment a shelter, vet, or finder is trying to reach you.
Recovery profile tools with upgraded plans
Pet profile
A fuller record for your pet: breed, age, photo, and details like allergies or medical notes a finder or vet might need right away.
Scan geo location
See roughly where your pet's microchip or tag was last scanned, which can narrow down a search fast.
URL forwarder
Point anyone who scans your pet's tag straight to a page of your choosing, like a social profile or a direct messaging link.
Owner social profiles
Attach your social media profiles to your pet's record so a finder has more than one way to get in touch.
Contact and alert tools with upgraded plans
Multiple recovery contacts
Add a second or third contact, handy for co-owners, family members, or a breeder or vet who should also be notified.
24/7 live agent line
Call 1-800-AID-PETS any time and speak with a live agent who can help coordinate a reunion.
SMS messaging
Get a text message the moment your pet's microchip is scanned, on top of the email alert.
App notifications
Get a push notification through the United Pet Club app so you find out right away, wherever you happen to be.
Choosing the right plan
Most owners start with free registration and upgrade later, often once they're planning a trip or simply want a live agent line on hand. There's also a one-time lifetime payment option on every upgraded plan, so a single payment can take the place of a yearly renewal.
Plan details shift from time to time, so we haven't listed current pricing here. Contact us for the current lineup, or set up a free account now and upgrade later from your account settings.
Questions about our registration plans
Is there really a free lifetime plan?
Yes, and it isn't a trial. It's permanent. Your contact information stays linked to your pet's microchip number for as long as you own your pet, with nothing to pay up front and nothing to pay later to keep it active.
What do upgraded plans add over free registration?
With free registration, you get an owner email alert any time someone searches your pet's microchip. Upgraded plans add tools such as a detailed pet profile, scan location, multiple recovery contacts, a 24/7 live agent line, SMS alerts, and app notifications.
Do I have to pay yearly for an upgraded plan?
Not necessarily. Every upgraded plan comes with a one-time lifetime payment option: pay a single time and skip the yearly renewal. Contact us for current pricing.
If I start on the free plan, can I upgrade down the road?
Yes. Register for free now and add an upgraded plan whenever you like from your account. You don't have to decide everything up front.
Where do I find current pricing for the upgraded plans?
Plan pricing changes from time to time, so the most current details come straight from our team rather than a fixed price list.
