Pet ID For Life,
without the runaround.

A pet microchip is a tiny RFID tag, about the size of a grain of rice, implanted under your pet's skin between the shoulder blades. It contains no battery, no GPS, and no tracking — just a unique ID number that lasts for your pet's lifetime.

If your pet is ever found, a vet, shelter, or finder scans the chip with a universal reader and looks up the ID number in the AAHA Universal Pet Microchip Lookup Tool. If the chip is registered with FreePetChipRegistry™, the lookup returns our 24/7/365 toll-free hotline along with the date the registration was last updated.

When the finder calls us, we initiate Found Pet Alerts™ before the call ends. Both the primary and secondary contact receive automated phone calls, text messages, and emails letting them know their pet has been found — along with the finder's name (or organization), phone number, and email address. You contact the finder directly to arrange your reunion.

Yes. All 911PetChip™ microchips are 15-digit, 134.2 kHz, and ISO 11784 certified by the International Committee of Animal Recording (ICAR) — the standard required for international travel.

Absolutely nothing.

Most pet owners have multiple pets, often with different microchip brands. A free, lifetime registry that accepts every brand removes the friction — no fees, no separate accounts, no reason not to keep contact info current. The result: when a chip is scanned, the contact info actually works, and lost pets get home instead of ending up in a shelter. That's the entire mission — free for life, every brand, for every owner.

Yes. FreePetChipRegistry™ never charges to register a pet, update contact information, transfer ownership, or report a lost or found pet. No annual fees, no premium tiers, no lifetime upgrade fees. Free is free, for the entire life of the pet.

We don't charge pet owners to register, renew, or update their pet's information. Most competitors generate significant revenue from one-time enrollment fees and annual renewal fees charged after the chip is sold. We make our money from the chip — not the database. The result: lower combined chip + registration costs for clinics, and meaningful lifetime savings for pet owners.

No. We sell direct to clinics, shelters, and government buyers — never through a distribution channel. That's how we keep prices low and quality consistent. When you call 818-445-3022 or order online, you're talking to the company that makes the chips.

Yes. Unlike many other microchip suppliers, at 911PetChip™ we pre-register every individual chip to the entity that purchased it before shipping. Your clinic or organization is permanently attached to every microchip you purchase from us. That's the "fail-safe": even if a pet owner is never added to the registry, the pet still goes home.

Multiple ways depending on your workflow — register through your FreePetChipRegistry™ account, use the barcode stickers shipped with each chip, call us at 818-445-3022, use the Bulk Microchip Upload tool, or set up an FTP integration with your veterinary software. See the Full FAQ for step-by-step instructions on each method.

911PetChip™ uses a standard 12-gauge needle and chip — best for medium to larger animals. The 12-gauge needle has been the industry standard since the inception of microchipping for permanent identification. The 911TinyChip™ uses a smaller 16-gauge needle (which actually fits inside the standard 12-gauge needle) and chip for a less invasive implantation — ideal for small-breed dogs, cats, kittens, and exotic pets. Both chips are ISO 11784 certified by the International Committee of Animal Recording (ICAR) and include free lifetime registration. The 911TinyChip™ is our fastest-growing SKU because clients appreciate a smaller injection size. Your clients or adopters will never be asked to pay any fees beyond the initial implant.

Simple — just stop registering your remaining inventory of HomeAgain (or others) and start registering them for free in FreePetChipRegistry™. HomeAgain will then stop your auto-shipments. You don't even have to call them — it's that simple. And think of how much money you'll save. For example, when you switch to 911PetChip™ and have two boxes (50 microchips) of HomeAgain chips remaining, you or your client will save $19.99 per registration × 50 microchips = $999.50 in cost savings. There's no need to return your HomeAgain (or other) inventory — just start registering your remaining inventory in FreePetChipRegistry™ and then order from us. Call sales at 818-445-3022 and we'll walk you through it. No contract changes, no minimum commitment, no fees. Your existing HomeAgain inventory keeps working until you use it up — no need to throw away unused chips. Most clinics switch over a 30–90 day window as old inventory depletes and is registered for free in FreePetChipRegistry™.

Orders ship within 1–2 business days of receipt of order. Carrier tracking is emailed when the order ships.
