A microchip alone may not be enough to get your pet home.
The numbers speak for themselves:
- As demand outstrips supply, theft numbers are growing, despite tougher sentencing.
- Some stolen dogs have the microchips removed before resale/breeding/baiting.
- Thousands of owners’ details on existing microchip databases are out of date or missing
- Microchips can migrate, making them difficult to scan
- Sometimes scans fail to scan at all
- At least 55,000 dogs of those admitted to shelters each year are not reunited with their owners due to microchip issues.
- Around 5000 of these are rehomed. The rest are put down.
Every pet deserves to feel safe, and every owner deserves the peace of mind that comes with knowing their companion is protected. At Petasure, we are committed to making this a reality.
Whether you’re a pet owner, vet, or animal lover, you can be part of this movement. Together, we can change the future of pet safety.

Registering your pet is simple! Upload clear photos of your pet, including their face, to your profile. When a request is made, our AI-powered facial recognition compares the original image with a new scan, identifying unique markings like your pet’s nose print. If needed, advanced machine learning will use other identifying features to confirm their identity. This ensures over 99.99% accuracy, giving you peace of mind.
