Register Your Buddy ID Microchip With Petkey
Registering your BuddyID microchip is what connects the chip number to you — without that link, shelters and vets have no way to contact you. An unregistered chip is just an anonymous number, and your pet can’t be returned to you if they’re found. Complete your BuddyID registration online in minutes.
Not sure if your pet’s microchip is a Buddy ID chip?
