How it works
Once you register your pet's microchip, you can be notified if your pet is found.
Register your pet's microchip
Once you have a microchip, your vet can insert it into your pet. Your vet will give you the microchip ID, and you register it with us by creating an account.
Your pet is found and scanned
If your pet is found and brought to a veterinary clinic or shelter, it will be scanned and the microchip ID will be looked up with the AAHA Microchip Lookup Tool.
Get notified
When the vet looks up your pet's microchip ID, they will be directed to mChip™ to fill out the Lost Pet Report form, and you will be notified.
