Every pet deserves a record, not just dogs and cats
United Pet Club registers birds, rabbits, ferrets, horses, reptiles, livestock, and other companion animals, free. If your animal has a microchip, leg band, tattoo, or tag, the number links to its profile; if it has none, the profile still works on its own.
How registration works for less common pets
The process is the same one dog and cat owners use: create a free account, add the animal's details and a photo, and attach whatever identifier it carries. The difference is in the identifiers themselves. Rabbits and ferrets take standard microchips. Many birds carry a closed leg band with a number instead of, or alongside, a chip. Horses are routinely chipped, and several breed registries expect it. Reptiles vary by size and species, so owners often rely on photos and detailed markings backed by the profile.
Whatever the identifier, the record behind it is what gets an escaped animal home. A found cockatiel with a band number means nothing to the person who found it until a registry connects that number to you. Register your pet with the identifier you have, and update the record if the animal gains a chip later.
What registration looks like by animal
Rabbits and small mammals
Vets implant the same ISO microchips used for cats, sized for smaller bodies. Register the chip number, and add a photo of distinctive markings.
Birds
Register the leg band number, a microchip if your vet has implanted one, or both. A clear photo of plumage helps a finder confirm a match.
Horses and livestock
Equine microchips are standard practice, and durable livestock tags handle herds and flocks. Both register against the same kind of profile.
Reptiles and exotics
Larger reptiles can be chipped by an exotics vet. For animals too small to chip, the profile's photos and description do the identifying.
Questions owners of other species ask
Can you microchip a rabbit?
Yes. Vets routinely microchip rabbits with the same ISO chips used for cats, implanted in seconds during a normal visit. Register the number afterward, because an unregistered chip identifies nobody.
Can birds be microchipped?
Larger birds like parrots are often microchipped by avian vets. Smaller birds usually carry a closed leg band instead. The United Pet Club registry accepts either number, so register whichever your bird has.
Do horses need to be microchipped?
Many breed registries and competition bodies expect a microchip, and some jurisdictions require one. Whatever the rule where you live, registering the chip links the horse to you, which matters in sales, transport, and theft recovery.
Can I register livestock?
Yes. Herd and flock animals register with their tag numbers, and United Pet Club's durable livestock tags are built for exactly that. The registry works for inventory as well as recovery.
Is registration free for exotic pets too?
Yes. The free lifetime plan is the same for every species: free registration, unlimited updates, and a searchable record, with no renewal fee.
Register any pet, free
