About us

Helping pets and owners stay connected — stronger than ever

Petlog is the UK’s largest DEFRA-compliant pet microchip database, with over 14 million pets registered nationwide. Our purpose is simple: to support pet owners, vets and welfare organisations in keeping pets safe and helping them find their way home if they ever go missing. 

Founded in 1996, when The Kennel Club—working with the RSPCA and SSPCA—took over a small database, Petlog is today managed by The Royal Kennel Club, a trusted not-for-profit organisation. Built on decades of experience, Petlog is now stronger than ever, combining trusted registration with proactive support through Petlog Secure and Petlog Reunite.

    Through links with the European Pet Network, we help reunite pets wherever they’re found—even across borders.

    Active Association of Microchip Database Operators members, working collaboratively to raise industry standards, improve pet reunification, customer service and animal welfare across UK microchip databases 

How we help

Petlog works behind the scenes as a safety-net for pets and those who love them. When a pet is microchipped, the chip number and keeper details are stored securely in our database. If a pet is lost and scanned by an authorised professional—such as a vet, shelter or animal warden—we help ensure the finder can quickly make contact. 

But Petlog is more than a registry. With Petlog Secure, we make it easy for owners to keep details accurate as life changes. With Petlog Reunite, we provide active, practical support if a pet goes missing—helping to coordinate notifications, alerts and rapid updates when a microchip is scanned. This combined approach speeds up reunification when it matters most. 

Our promise

At Petlog, we are committed to:
