ChipReaders for vets

You do the chipping. We do the registering and the findability, on behalf of your client or by the client themselves.

A brown dog seen from the side

With a practice account you register a microchip right after implanting it, on behalf of the owner. The owner then gets access to manage their own details. You can also sign up as a chip reader so people with a found animal can find you, and there is an API to create registrations from your own practice software.

  1. 1

    Create a practice account

    You register as a business. The dashboard shows the registrations you have made, and you can transfer an animal to the owner with a transfer code.

  2. 2

    Register the microchip on behalf of the owner

    Enter the microchip number, the species and the owner details. The owner receives an invitation to log in and complete or change their details. That way the registration is in their name, not the practice name.

  3. 3

    Sign up as a chip reader

    Practices have a chip scanner. By signing up you appear on the map and in the overview, and people with a found animal can find you. Taking part is free and you set yourself what is visible and within what distance you receive alerts.

  4. 4

    Connect your practice software, if you want to

    There is an API to look up a microchip number and create a registration from your own system. Request a key through the API documentation; we will then look with you at which calls you need.

Why register in the owner name

A microchip that stays in the practice name does not help a finder: they then call you instead of the owner, even years later and even if the animal has since moved.

That is why registration here works so that the owner gets access and can keep their phone number up to date. You do not have to do the admin afterwards.

What you see from your side

The dashboard lists the registrations you have made, with the status of each animal. If you transfer an animal to the owner, it leaves your management but stays visible in the list.

If an animal you registered is later reported missing, you see that when you look up the microchip number.

Frequently asked questions

What does a practice account cost?
Signing up as a chip reader is free. For registrations on behalf of clients we work with credits; we are happy to agree the terms for your practice, so please get in touch.
Do I have to register the owner myself?
You can do it on the owner behalf. The owner then receives an invitation to log in and complete their details. You can also just hand over a transfer code so the owner finishes it themselves.
Can I scan chips for people who are not clients?
That is up to you. Most participating practices do so free of charge, including for non-clients; that is exactly what the network is for. You are not obliged to.
Is there a link with my practice software?
There is an API for lookups and registrations. We do not have a ready-made link with every package; request a key and tell us which system you use, and we will look into it with you.
What if an animal is already in another database?
That happens. A microchip number can be known to several registers. On a lookup we search nine Dutch and fifteen international databases and point you to where the chip is known.
