Welcome to Central Animal Records

Returning Lost Pets Home

Welcome to Australia's foremost Nationally accredited companion animal microchip Registry! We are licensed by the Victorian & Queensland Governments under their respective Animal Legislations, accredited by the National Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) and Domestic Animal Registries (DAR) - the companion animal registry watchdog. Our goal is simple - to provide a reliable, 24 hour per day, 7 day per week animal recovery service for lost or stolen companion animals including not only dogs and cats, but also horses, birds and reptiles that will work to ensure that your microchipped pet can be returned home, from anywhere in Australia, at any time, business hours, overnight, weekends and public holidays.

NOTIFICATION of an increase to the Change of Ownership fee

13 December 2011 - 4:00pm — CAR MANAGEMENT

                                       The new price of $8.95 (inc gst) will apply as of January 1, 2012
 
Due to increasing and substantial administrative processing requirements and costs, which we can no longer absorb, we advise that we have reluctantly needed to increase our “Change of Ownership” fee for pets listed on the Central Animal Records database.

What happens with my pet's microchip details if moving overseas?

2 November 2011 - 1:11pm — BT

Each Country operates indepdent of each other, so if you and your pet/s are moving overseas, you should consider having the microchip listed on a local database. Please therefore check with a local Veterinarian or Animal Control Officer to find out whether one does exist in the new Country that you are moving to, so that you can make contact & have the appropraite documentation completed for any new listings.
Although it would unlikely that our database records would be accessed from another Country, CAR are happy to update your details as well, however you would need to email the new details via info@car.com.au ensuring that you quote your pets microchip number/s as a reference, followed by new address and any new phone numbers that may apply. Please ensure that you include country & area codes that may also apply. 

FROM AUSTRALIA TO CANADA

26 October 2011 - 11:46am

Central Animal Records received an overnight email from the Calgary Humane Society in Canada recently after they had impounded & scanned a cat which they found to be chipped. They could not locate any details on a local Register, however a search via our own "microchip search" area showed that we had a record listed, and as such, were very keen to know who the owners were so that the cat could be returned home.
 
Upon checking our records, it was found that the cat was still listed in the name of the Breeder, who fortunately had records of who they had sold the cat to when imported over to Canada. Even though the matter of transferring ownership had not been dealt with, CAR was therefore able to email the new owner details to the Shelter, with a happy reunion taking place once they made contact.
