New information about Micro chipping your pet and having it registered somewhere
that will have available 24/7 for these chip look up tools
In doing a search for a micro chip locator tool there are
two leaders at the time of this information published:
When you enter a microchip number into the AAHA Universal Pet Microchip
Lookup Tool, it tells you where that microchip has been registered,
the registration date (which may not be accurate at this time),
the registry’s phone number, and a link to the registry’s
web site. If a microchip number is not found in any of the supported
registries, it gives you contact information for the most likely
manufacturer and registries -- including ones not supported by the
database.
When you enter a microchip number that is recognized, you are given
the name of the registry, its phone number, and a link to the company's
web site. In cases where a number is not recognized, ChecktheChip
provides contact information for six registries: AKC CAR, HomeAgain,
PetLink (resQ), 24PetWatch, AVID and Banfield.
How these tools work is that you are able to find out the
manufactor for the chip and then you must go to the manufactor to
locate the purchaser and possibly have information on the current
owner?? Not a one step process.
Why doesn’t the tool show the pet owner’s
information?
To protect the privacy of pet owners, the tool will display
all the registries with microchip registration information available,
along with the registries’ contact information. The information
will appear in chronological order; the registry with the most recent
update appears first. Additionally, the pet recovery services have
trained experts, resources and infrastructure to efficiently and
effectively contact the owners of lost pet.
Which countries does this tool serve?
Microchip technology and regulations can vary by countries.
The AAHA Universal Pet Microchip Lookup Tool was created to primarily
serve chips distributed in the United States.
