Microchip Lookup Tool - For Members 

Important things to note about the Microchip Registry Lookup Tool

• Some microchips may not be traceable to a single manufacturer/registry maintenance company. Many of these start with the number “900”. If there are multiple potential matches for your chip, a list of several companies who maintain pet owner information or registration services will be provided.
• Occasionally, microchips are implanted but not registered to specific pets. In these instances, the registry lookup will generate a list of companies that may have sold the microchip. Contacting these companies and requesting “trackback” information on the purchaser of the microchip may lead to the pet owner’s contact details.
• AAHA does not manage microchip registries and cannot assist pet owners with microchip-related issues.
• Learn more about the benefits of microchips.

The first step is to scan the animal to detect if a microchip has been implanted.

Once the chip has been located and scanned, you can use this registry lookup to find the companies who have manufactured or are licensed to sell microchips.

If the clinic staff or pet owner entered contact information for the chip, you may be able to use this lookup tool to find the company that maintains that information.

This registry lookup tool does not disclose pet owner information or allow pet owners to update their pets’ microchips. It is a lookup tool to help identify the registry where a pet’s microchip is registered.

To begin using the tool:

• Obtain the 9-, 10-, or 15-digit microchip number.
• Enter the microchip number (without spaces or punctuation) to receive a list of registries to contact for pet owner information: https://www.aaha.org/for-veterinary-professionals/microchip-registry-lookup-tool-aaha-find-your-pets-microchip-registry/
• Starting with the first company listed (the most recent registry), contact each company to inquire if they possess the pet owner’s information.
