Free registration, with room to add more
Every pet gets free, lifetime microchip registration with United Pet Club. Upgraded plans layer on extra recovery tools for owners who want them.
What the free lifetime plan includes
The free lifetime plan links 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 expiration date. If your dog or cat is chipped and unregistered, free microchip registration is the fastest 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 searches your pet's microchip number, so you know the moment a shelter, vet, or finder is trying to reach you.
Recovery profile tools in upgraded plans
Pet profile
A fuller record for your pet, including 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 a search fast.
URL forwarder
Point anyone who scans your pet's tag straight to a page you choose, 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 reach you.
Contact and alert tools in upgraded plans
Multiple recovery contacts
Add a second or third contact, useful 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 talk to a live agent who can help coordinate a reunion.
SMS messaging
Get a text message the moment your pet's microchip is scanned, in addition to email.
App notifications
Receive a push notification through the United Pet Club app so you find out instantly, wherever you are.
Choosing the right level
Most owners start with free registration and upgrade later, often when they're planning to travel or simply want a live agent line on hand. Upgraded plans also include a one-time lifetime payment option, so you can pay once instead of renewing every year.
Plan details change from time to time, so current pricing isn't listed here. Contact us for the current lineup, or create a free account now and upgrade later from your account settings.
Questions about registration plans
Is there really a free lifetime plan?
Yes. The free lifetime plan is permanent, not a trial. It links your contact information to your pet's microchip number for as long as you own your pet, with nothing to pay to start and nothing to keep it active.
What's the difference between free and upgraded registration?
Free registration gives you owner email alerts whenever your pet's microchip is searched. Upgraded plans add tools like 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 every year for an upgraded plan?
Not necessarily. Upgraded plans include a one-time lifetime payment option, so you can pay once instead of renewing annually. Contact us for current pricing.
Can I upgrade later if I start with the free plan?
Yes. Register for free now and add an upgraded plan whenever you want from your account. You don't need to decide everything up front.
How do I find out what an upgraded plan costs right now?
Plan pricing changes from time to time, so the most current details come from contacting our team directly rather than a fixed price list.
