How the registry works
Register each pet’s microchip
Register a pet’s microchip for free with the 24Petwatch registry, providing the pet parent’s phone number, email address, etc., and information about the pet.
Engage our lost pet recovery specialist
If a pet becomes lost, the pet parent should notify 24Petwatch online. One of our Lost Pet Recovery Specialists will run a real-time search of all animals reported found in our database.
Help reunite pets with owners
If a pet is found and scanned for a microchip, 24Petwatch must be notified. Then, we will notify the pet parent via SMS text and automated phone calls. The pet parent can arrange with the finder to be reunited with their pet.

Frequently asked questions
A microchip is only as good as the registry it is tied to. The microchip itself only contains the microchip number. Accessing the pet parent’s contact information through the registry is critical to reuniting the pet with its family.
The 24Petwatch registry provides peace of mind for animal welfare organizations:
- Free lifetime registration services for any brand of microchip
- The “sold to” organization information ALWAYS stays tied to the microchip
- Microchips listed in the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) Microchip Lookup
To support animal welfare organizations and pet parents alike, 24Petwatch offers free microchip registration, with no mandatory fees to receive the standard services.
The standard (free) plan includes unlimited access to our online portal with the ability to:
- Update contact information online
- Set emergency contacts
- Alert 24Petwatch if their pet becomes lost
- Be notified when their pet is found
- Instantly generate a lost pet poster
Pet parents will never be obligated to pay for standard services.

They can upgrade to premium Pet Protection memberships with 24/7 Vet helpline services, Lost Pet Recovery Specialists and more if they choose.
What our partners are saying
Animal Welfare Society
Kennebunk, ME
The 24Petwatch Registry is an invaluable tool for us to help lost pets be reunited with their families. The interface is easy to use, and the information provided allows us to quickly reach out to pet families without any unnecessary extra steps.
Nevada Humane Society
Reno, NV
The 24Pet Registry is an integral tool to our shelter operations. The ability to look up pet owners’ information, send alerts and have access to lost pet recovery agents saves my team time and increases the amount of animals we are able to reunite. I also appreciate having access to a dedicated client services director if there is an odd situation or a registration issue. After all, a microchip is only as good as the registration attached to it.
