Quickly identify an animal using its microchip
The Identrac microchip lookup service enables professionals to quickly identify an animal using its microchip number. In just a few simple steps, a professional account holder can access information in the Identrac database to contact the owner and take appropriate action based on the situation.
Whether it's a found animal, a clinic check, a shelter intervention, or temporary care, Identrac streamlines information retrieval while protecting the owner's data.
1. Digitization of the animal
The professional scans the animal's microchip with their scanner.
When an animal is found or taken into care, the professional uses a compatible microchip scanner to obtain the unique number associated with the animal.
This step makes it possible to reliably identify the animal, without relying solely on a collar, a tag, or verbal information.
2. Search in the Identrac pro account
The microchip number is entered into the search tool.
Once the number has been obtained, the professional logs into their Identrac professional account and enters the microchip number into the secure search tool.
The system then checks whether the microchip is registered in the Identrac database. If the animal is found in the database, the professional can view the authorized information linked to the animal's profile.
The owner also receives an alert informing them that their pet's profile has been viewed by an Identrac professional account.
3. Display of available information
Information related to the animal appears quickly.
If the microchip is linked to an active record, Identrac displays the available information, such as the animal's profile, the owner's name, and contact details.
The professional can thus obtain the information needed to act quickly, depending on the context of the intervention.
4. Communication with the owner
The professional can contact the right person more easily.
Using the contact details available in the file, the professional account holder can communicate with the animal's owner to confirm the situation, arrange for the animal's return home, or obtain additional information.
This feature reduces delays, avoids unnecessary searches, and increases the chances of quickly reuniting the animal with its family.
5. Intervention adapted to the situation
The professional acts according to the animal's needs.
Depending on the context, the professional account holder may take appropriate measures: contacting the owner, verifying the animal's details, confirming its identity, or proceeding with a safe intervention.
Identrac helps professionals make better decisions with reliable, centralized, and easily accessible information.
6. Secure search and professional access
Data is accessible only to authorized accounts.
Identrac's microchip search is designed for authorized professional accounts. The displayed information serves to facilitate the identification of the animal and communication with its owner within a responsible intervention framework.
Identrac thus contributes to protecting animals, owners, and professionals through a secure and structured database.
