24Petwatch by PetPlace

One of the largest microchip registries in North America, with free registration and a lost-pet reporting service.

What to do here

Many Canadian shelters and clinics enrol chips here by default, so it is worth checking even if you do not remember signing up.

The registry moved onto the PetPlace website; the 24Petwatch address now redirects there. Old bookmarks still work, but the branding you see may not match the paperwork you were given.

Compiled from the operator's site. 24petwatch.com now redirects to petplace.com. Last checked 1 August 2026. Details change without notice — confirm anything you are about to rely on.

One organisation is never the whole search

A pet is found by whoever happens to be nearby, so the shelter, the city, the registry and the local search groups each hold a different piece. Work the list rather than one entry on it.
