United Pet Club's pet recovery lookup is free and open to anyone, anywhere in the world, and requires no account. Use the Recover a Pet button found at the top of any United Pet Club page to search a microchip, tag, tattoo, or passport number. Should the pet be registered with us, we will help you reach the owner, and our live agent line at 1-800-AID-PETS is available at any hour.
Every pet microchip carries a unique number, typically 15 digits, which a veterinarian or animal welfare officer reads with a scanner. On its own, the number reveals nothing about the owner; it must be matched against a registry, and that matching process is precisely what a lookup accomplishes. Enter the number, and the registry holding that record responds with a means of reaching the owner.
The United Pet Club registry accepts chips from any manufacturer and participates in the AAHA universal pet microchip lookup, often the first resource clinics and shelters consult when a stray arrives. If a particular number is not found in our registry, the universal lookup indicates which registry does hold it, so the search continues rather than reaching a dead end.
If you are reading this as an owner rather than a finder, a lookup is only as useful as your own registration is current. Register your pet's microchip free, or first review what the free lifetime plan includes.
A tag bearing a phone number is usually the quickest route home. Should there be a QR or printed code on it, a phone camera will scan it and open the pet's registry profile.
Any veterinary clinic or animal shelter can scan for a microchip, and most will do so free of charge for a found pet. The scan takes only a few seconds and reveals the chip number.
Enter the chip number in the United Pet Club pet recovery lookup, or in the AAHA universal lookup should you wish to check every participating registry at once.
Should the number match a registered pet, the registry will connect you with the owner directly. If not, a veterinary clinic or animal welfare organisation can take matters forward under local found-animal procedures.
Any brand of ISO microchip is accepted, not only chips sold by United Pet Club.
Where scanning is not possible, the code printed on a United Pet Club QR tag may be entered by hand instead.
Older identification methods remain useful too: the lookup accepts tattoo and pet passport numbers as well.
There is no charge and no closing time, and the 1-800-AID-PETS live agent line can help coordinate a reunion whenever required.
Have the pet scanned at any veterinary clinic or shelter to obtain the chip number, then enter it in United Pet Club's free pet recovery lookup, accessible through the Recover a Pet button on every page of unitedpetclub.com. The AAHA universal microchip lookup offers a second route, checking participating registries, ours included, in a single search.
No. Searching the United Pet Club registry costs nothing, and no account is required to look up a found pet.
No. A lookup does not disclose personal details in this manner. It connects you with the registry, which then reaches the owner using the contact information on file, leaving the owner in control of what is shared.
This occurs more often than one might expect: the chip was implanted but never registered. A veterinarian or shelter can, on occasion, trace the manufacturer from the number's prefix and contact the clinic that purchased the chip. This is also the strongest possible argument for registering your own pet's chip today.
A free tool from the American Animal Hospital Association that checks numerous registries simultaneously and reports which ones hold a record for a given chip number. United Pet Club participates in it, which is one reason shelters are able to locate our records quickly.
The finder's side of this page functions only when the owner's side has already been completed. Register your pet's microchip free, and keep your contact details current.
