You can register your microchip by calling 1-866-597-2424 or online by visiting our Microchip Portal. It is important that the pet owner be the one to activate the account, as accurate contact details need to be given. Your microchip will be activated once your registration is complete!

Pet microchips are not GPS tracking devices. 24PetWatch^® microchips are radio-frequency identification device (RFID) implants that provide permanent identification for your pet. Because they use RFID technology, microchips do not require a power source like a GPS as they do not transmit a signal.

There is no "best age" to microchip your pet. Microchips can be injected as early as eight weeks, and at any point after that. If you are concerned about size, 24PetWatch^® offers a MiniChip - ask your vet about it today!

Yes. The 24PetWatch^® (Allflex) reader is an example of a universal reader designed to scan and detect both ISO compliant and non-ISO compliant microchips.

Microchips carry only a unique identification number, not your personal contact details. If your pet gets lost and is taken to a veterinary clinic or animal shelter, your pet will be scanned for a microchip to reveal his/her unique ID number. That number will be called into 24PetWatch^®, and you will be contacted using the contact information we have on file. It is vital to keep your contact information up to date so that you can be reached. Your contact information will only be given to the finder of your lost pet if you have given 24PetWatch^® consent to do so.

Our DirectConnect service is offered to pet parents with a Pet Protection Services Membership. When we receive a call about your pet being found, we record the finder's details and then place them on hold while we try to reach you using your home, cell and work telephone numbers. Once you're on the phone, we will connect you with the finder, with your permission. For extra safety, we remain on the three-way to help reunite you with your pet.

With DirectConnect you can get your pet back home faster and safer.

All pets registered with a 24PetWatch^® microchip are provided with a plastic collar tag that features your pet's unique microchip number and 24PetWatch's Lost Pet Recovery Service toll free number. If your pet is not wearing their tag, or if the tag is broken, scratched or weathered, the finder should contact a vet or humane society to get your pet's microchip scanned so we can contact you immediately.

Animals that are brought to a vet clinic, shelter, rescue or humane society are routinely scanned for a microchip. If your pet is microchipped, the staff will know to contact 24PetWatch^®. We will then contact you to let you know your pet has been found and help reunite you.

Your local shelter or vet can microchip your pet. Ask for a 24PetWatch^® Microchip ID by name. In the event that they use a different brand of microchip, you should still register your pet's microchip with 24PetWatch^® - the only full service lost pet recovery network that provides free registration for all brands of microchips in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Collars and tags can be removed or get lost and tattooing can become illegible over time. Microchips are the only truly permanent method of identifying your dog.

Cats are naturally curious and unpredictable. If your cat strays from the safety of your home, a microchip registered with 24PetWatch^® is your cat's best chance of a fast return.

Animal microchips are about the size of a grain of rice and are typically implanted just beneath the skin's surface between the shoulder blades. The process is similar to receiving vaccination through a needle and causes minimal discomfort to pets. Most animals don't even react when the microchip is implanted. Once implanted, the microchip remains in place for the rest of the animal's lifetime as a permanent form of identification.
