What happens when you search a microchip?
When you search a pet microchip number, the system automatically checks all compliant pet microchip databases in real-time to identify which pet microchip databases hold the registration details.
You will then be able to contact the database that holds the registration details to identify the registered keeper, change the keepership or update your details. No personal information is shared from one database to another, simply the registration status of the pet microchip.
If the pet is not registered on a compliant database, you can register you pet's microchip online instantly.
