Lifetime Dog Microchip Registration
A microchip without registration is just a number. Petkey links your dog’s microchip to your contact details for life, so you can be contacted instantly if your dog ever goes missing. Registration only takes a few minutes but gives you a lifetime of protection and peace of mind knowing your dog — or puppy — is always connected to you.
How Dog Microchipping Works
Microchipping a dog is a quick and safe procedure performed by your veterinarian. The chip, about the size of a grain of rice, is inserted just beneath your dog’s skin between the shoulder blades.
When a lost dog is found and scanned, the chip’s unique ID number appears. If your dog’s microchip is registered with Petkey, we will be contacted immediately so we can help reunite you.
Why Registration Matters
Only registration connects your dog or puppy’s microchip number to you. Without it, shelters, vets, and other pet professionals can’t reach you if your dog is found. Petkey’s registration ensures your dog’s microchip is always linked to your contact info — for life — so your dog can find their way home.
