The Pet Registry is an organisation actively promoting responsible pet ownership and targeting pet crime.

At The Pet Registry it is our vision for all owners and pets to be registered as this promotes responsible pet ownership and protects our pets.

We believe that if everyone was to become registered and verified it would reduce pet theft and selling pets from puppy/kitten farms.

If you have been told to register prior to gaining ownership of a new pet it means the pet is already registered, which is great news! Once you fully register, ownership can be successfully transferred.

Your pet is an integral part of your family and by giving them their own pet ID in turn gives them protection too. This is because if all pets were registered it would make pet theft very difficult as pets ownership is tracked.

No. You can register your pet at any age, however, the sooner you do this, the better.

Ideally yes. Each pet will have their own unique identification number, this will never change.

Yes, we want to encourage as many pets to be registered as possible. We would suggest making their owners aware of our system and our vision. If they decide to register you can link up and start building your pets blood line profile.

At this current time the pet registry is only for registering cats and dogs.

No. It is still law to have your dogs microchipped and greatly advised for cats too.

Yes. The Pet Registry encourages all dogs and cats no matter the breed or heritage to be registered.

The benefit of the pet registry is to ensure that every pet has their own unique identification number and a recorded ownership at all times. For example, a car has a log book which makes selling a stolen vehicle more difficult . It is hoped that by ensuring all pets are registered it will make it difficult for pets to then be stolen and sold on.

The Pet Registry takes steps to ensure that your privacy is maintained and once you are verified and receive your pet registry identification it is yours to have and share. People can only find you if you share your identification number.

Your pet will have its own unique code and only if you have shared this to someone can they search for your pet. You can also limit any information which is made visible to them.

Once registered, you are able to:
- Update your profile and contact information
- Keep an accurate record of your pet.
- Keep accurate medical records for your pet.
- Transfer ownership of your pet
- Report if your pet has became lost.
- Build your pets bloodlines.
- Order certificates.
- Make use of future features and benefits.
