CKC AND CANADACHIP

CANADACHIP is a national pet rescue database offered by The Canadian Kennel Club. It is easy to enroll and CKC offers a CANADACHIP recovery hotline at 1-800-396-1896 for those who have lost their dog. The recovery hotline Is linked to a national database of dog/owner information.

The Canadian Kennel Club sells microchips and scanners to its members here.

Who Can Participate in CANADACHIP?
Every microchipped dog registered with the CKC is automatically enrolled at no additional cost in the CANADACHIP Recovery Database.

Any CKC member can purchase microchips through the CANADACHIP program.

For a one time, lifetime fee of $10 plus tax, we can enroll other animals identified with microchips purchased elsewhere. Our database is not limited to dogs; we have cats, birds, horses – even pet pigs!

Which Microchip Does the Canadian Kennel Club Sell to Members?
At the present time, the CKC offers the Trovan ISO ID K162 FDX-B chip, which meets the newly revised Canadian Standard. As new introductions of ISO products enter the market, the CKC will review and may make available additional options. Prices are subject to change without notice.

Why Does CKC Operate CANADACHIP?
The CKC has been assisting in the recovery of lost purebred dogs for many decades and long before microchips were ever in existence. Since our purebred dogs have been uniquely identified for years, and since ownership is part of the information stored on our purebred database, shelters have become accustomed to calling CKC whenever they find a purebred dog.

The CKC's role in recovery is not at all unique. Both the American Kennel Club in the United States and The Kennel Club in England operate similar recovery programs for companion animals.

Is CANADACHIP the Only Recovery Service in Canada?
No, there are a number of recovery services operating in Canada, including CANADACHIP. Each service is committed to the primary role of reuniting a lost pet with its owner. Thus, there is mutual cooperation between the databases which ensures that a caller is directed to the appropriate database.
