Pet Microchip Lookup
Check a pet’s microchip number and find the registry associated with it — not a promise of owner phone numbers on this page.
1. Pet Microchip Lookup Tool
Example: 985xxxxxxxxxxxx — we validate format and guide next steps.
2. What Can a Microchip Lookup Tell You?
A lookup typically helps identify which participating registry may hold information for that chip. It does not necessarily reveal the owner’s name, address, or phone number on this website.
Official tools such as AAHA’s Universal Pet Microchip Lookup identify registries — they do not disclose private owner information on this page.
3. How Pet Microchip Lookup Works
- Scan the pet (vet, shelter, animal control)
- Get the microchip number
- Enter the number here (format check)
- Identify the registry via official AAHA lookup
- Contact the registry
- Begin reunification or update registration
4. 9-, 10-, and 15-Digit Microchips
Registry lookups commonly accept 9-, 10-, or 15-digit numbers. Use our if you only need format validation.
5. What If No Record Is Found?
Try again for typos, try official AAHA lookup, contact local shelters, and if this is your pet, complete registration with the correct registry.
6. Dog Microchip Lookup
Same workflow for dogs — scan, enter the number, identify the registry, contact them.
7. Cat Microchip Lookup
Same workflow for cats — format check first, then official registry lookup.

What if my microchip lookup returns no result?
Try again for typos, try official AAHA lookup, contact local shelters, or register the chip with the correct registry if this is your pet. A chip may be unregistered or held in a registry that is not in that search.
How many digits does a pet microchip have?
Common formats include 9-, 10-, and 15-digit numbers. AAHA's lookup accepts these formats.
