Why register your pet on the New Zealand Companion Animal register?

Pets may go missing for a number of reasons - spooked by fireworks, a natural disaster or just bolting out an open gate.

Registration means that as soon as an animal's microchip is scanned by one of our approved agents they can contact you and arrange their safe return.

The $15 registration fee is a one-off charge for the life of the animal, and the profits are used to promote animal welfare causes in New Zealand.
