PETtrac™ is the worlds largest and longest operating microchip-based pet recovery system that has reunited over a million pets with their families. The PETtrac pet recovery database securely maintains the pet owners contact information so a pet recovery specialists can notify them when their pet is recovered. When a participating animal care professional finds a lost pet we contact the owner or their alternate to help bring the pet home. The PETtrac Pet Recovery Network reunites thousands of pets with their owners each week.
Why Microchip Registration is Important?
Veterinarians, shelters, and local rescues play an important role in educating pet owners about the benefits of microchip registration. Microchipping alone does not establish permanent identification, the pet must also be registered in a pet recovery database. When a pet owner fails to register their pets microchip the pet is not fully protected. When an unregistered pet is housed in an overcrowded shelter the pet could be adopted by a new family or the unthinkable could happen. These pets take up unnecessary resources and cost taxpayers and donors an average of $120.00 per pet in kennel fees. Once the pet is registered in the PETtrac Pet Recovery Network the pet can never leave home without positive identification.
