Find a Microchip Scanner Near You
Found a lost pet? ScanAPet connects you with free, public microchip scanner stations built and maintained by caring community members.
How It Works
Three simple steps to help a lost pet find its way home.
Find a Station
Use our interactive map to locate the nearest microchip scanner station in your area. Filter by city, state, or zip code.
Scan the Pet
Visit the station and use the scanner to read the pet's microchip number. It's quick, painless, and takes just seconds.
Reunite the Family
Contact the microchip registry with the number to find the pet's owner. Most registries have 24/7 hotlines.
Reunited & It Feels So Good
Every scanner station is a chance to bring a lost pet home.
I found a scared dog in my neighborhood. Thanks to a ScanAPet station two blocks away, we scanned the chip and had the owner on the phone within an hour.
Setting up my scanner station was the best $50 I ever spent. I've helped reunite three pets with their families in just the first month.
When my cat went missing, someone found her and used a nearby scanner station. I got the call the same day. I'm forever grateful.
