Animal ID and search engines

Updated over a year ago

Animal ID is an international database and search engine that conducts a comprehensive search for information on identified animals worldwide 🌍

The system integrates data from the Animal-ID.net database as well as 117 global registries, enabling you to quickly determine where an animal is registered and obtain owner information in case of loss. πŸ”ŽπŸ“‹

Animal ID is not just a database; it is a universal tool that unites information from various sources:

  • Animal-ID.net Database πŸ“š
    ​
    It stores data about pets and their owners, including identification numbers, details about the chip implantation (location and date), contact information, and additional notes.
    ​

  • Global Registry Search Engine 🌐
    ​
    It performs a worldwide search through 117 international registries, which tells you exactly which database has the pets record. This means that for more detailed information, you will need to contact the specific registry directly.
    ​

The Difference Between a Database and a Search Engine

It is important to understand the difference:

  • Database πŸ—„οΈ – A storage system where records about pets and their owners are kept (for example, Animal-ID.net).

  • Search Engine πŸ” – A tool that searches through databases. Aggregators like AAHA, PETMAXX, and EuroPet function as search engines by helping you determine which database has the pet's record. For further detailed information, you must reach out to that specific registry.
