National Pet Registry

Developed in partnership with over 300 communities and 80 animal welfare agencies across North America, the DocuPet platform is the first nationwide pet registration and reunification network.

DocuPet is free for pet owners and our partner agencies.

  • More than 8,000 pets are registered daily, making DocuPet the fastest growing pet registry.

One central source of truth...

Today, pet information lives across 7,000+ disconnected databases—licensing, microchips, vet clinics—leaving critical data isolated, outdated, and often out of reach.

DocuPet is the only platform that consolidates all pet records into one central source, making information accessible when it matters most. Connected to free, functional pet tags, our solution works for everyone by providing the resources needed to reunite lost pets, faster than ever. Services and tools, such as The HomeSafe® 24/7 lost pet service, integrated pet license programs, the National Pet Record Search, and comprehensive, linked pet profiles make DocuPet the centralized platform that the industry has long been waiting for.
