Pet microchipping update

Pet microchip registry company HomeSafeID will soon be closing its website. This means HomeSafeID registration data will no longer be available online or searchable via PetAddress.

If your pet is registered with HomeSafeID, you will need to change your microchip registration to another company.

It is important to keep your microchip details up to date so you can be reunited with your pet if they go missing or are found.

Check your pet’s microchip details

If you don’t know your pet’s microchip registry, visit PetAddress and enter your pet’s microchip number.

If no result appears, you may need to have your pet’s microchip scanned by a vet.
