Our service helps you to find the right microchip database associated with the lost pet's microchip number.



FIND THE MICROCHIP NUMBER:

You can obtain the pet's microchip number by scanning the pet with a universal microchip reader/scanner. You can find a microchip scanner by contacting a local veterinary office or local animal shelter.


USING Checkthechip.com DATABASE SEARCH:

  1. Enter the microchip number in the microchip entry field. Due to the requirements of microchip design, it is vital that the exact number is entered correctly.
  2. Click the SEARCH button.
  3. Since microchip numbers are very precise, and easily mistyped, you will be prompted to confirm the number.
  4. Once confirmed, we will match the microchip with the microchip database.
  5. You must then contact the microchip database for owner information.

CONTACT THE DATABASE:

Contact the database to get more information on the owner of the lost pet. By entering the pet's microchip number, you will be provided with the microchip database. You must contact the database directly to help locate the owner. NOTE: ChecktheChip.com does not report entered microchip numbers to the databases directly. ChecktheChip.com is a microchip database search service.
