Le nombre d’animaux

Using the WORLDPETNET service is free for both animal databases and individual users.
The aim of WORLDPETNET is to unify all databases around the world, which means that every database containing data on electronically-marked animals can be added.
Microchips can be used with in animal species. However, it is important to choose the right place for the chip.
Chipping is the procedure of implanting an animal with a microchip.
A microchip does not have a tracking functionality and is not a GPS device. It is a passive device without a power source and does not emit a signal.
A microchip does not function as a GPS device and cannot be used to locate an animal as it does not emit a signal.
Chipping is similar to an injection. If done properly, it is not painful for the animal and does not require anaesthesia.
A microchip is a passive device, which is why it should not malfunction or stop working.
You can register all animal species in WORLDPETNET. It all depends on what species can be registered in your country's database.

As an owner, you can only register an animal via a local database. If you want your pet to be searchable in the WORLDPETNET register, add it to a local database that is partnered with WPN.
You cannot register marked animals on WPN on your own. If you want your pet to be added to WORLDPETNET, add it to a local database that is partnered with our global registry.
Whether it is mandatory to register marked animals depends on your country's laws. However, a responsible owner should register their pet regardless of whether it is mandatory or not. Registering microchips helps combat animal homelessness.
WORLDPETNET enables users to make two types of accounts:
A) Accounts for veterinarians, animal shelters, legal breeders and sires – WORLDPETNET USER ACCOUNT
B) Accounts for local databases of marked animals – BASE ACCOUNT
We have created several account types to make using the WPN platform easier. Particular account types offer functionalities useful for various user types.

A microchip is not a tracking device and does not have a GPS functionality, which means that it cannot be remotely tracked.

Electronic marking can be used for nearly all animal species – mammals, birds, fish and reptiles. It is important to choose the correct chip size for the animal.
A purebred dog or cat has a documented pedigree.
Le marquage des animaux par puce électronique est la méthode la plus durable, efficace et absolument sûre permettant l'identification rapide et fiable des animaux. Grâce au numéro unique du transpondeur (puce), il est possible d’identifier immédiatement et de retrouver le propriétaire, et en effet, d’aider l’animal à revenir chez lui. Pourtant, il faut prendre en compte, qu’une micropuce est uniquement un transpondeur avec un numéro encodé. La micropuce ne peut pas localiser ni fournir des informations sur le propriétaire et son animal ! Pour identifier un chat ou un chien, il faut enregistrer les micropuces dans une base nationale d'animaux marqués...
