For Pet Owners
At AKC CAR, we've made it our mission to recover as many missing pets as possible. By keeping the AKC Companion Animal Recovery ID System microchips affordable, we increase the number of animals who can be found if lost. Further, our proceeds support Canine Support and Relief Fund, Veterinary School Scholarships, disaster relief, low cost microchipping and more.
Recovery Services
Dedicated professionals are available 24/7 to support you and your pet's needs. It is a simple, one-time enrollment process unlike others that charge you annual subscription fees. Because we are not for profit, we offer you the best value in the marketplace. What's more, proceeds go to the Canine Support and Relief Fund, extending the protection you provide your pet to also support of animals in need.
