About MyPet

Built around pets — and the people in their corner.

MyPet was founded on a simple frustration: the UK pet-microchip world was built more around the businesses involved than the pets and owners it was meant to serve. We set out to flip that.

Our story

MyPet was founded out of a frustration. The UK pet-microchip world was clunky, expensive, and built more around the businesses involved than the pets and owners it was meant to serve. We thought it could be done better — and that good business and good ethics should go hand in hand.

So we set out to build a new kind of pet-microchip database. One that pet owners would actually find useful. One that vets, breeders and rescues could trust. One that did the unglamorous things — uptime, security, support — properly.

That database still sits at the heart of everything we do. Around it, we've built two more businesses: we supply MyPet Microchips by Trovan to vet practices, breeders, implanters and rescues across the UK, and we build MyVet, our modular practice-management platform for independent veterinary clinics. Every chip we sell, and every appointment booked in MyVet, ends with a pet safely recorded in the MyPet Database.

We're a founding member of AMDO, the industry body for UK microchip database operators, and Defra-compliant — which is the bit the law cares about, and the bit pet owners should care about too.

What we build

Three products under one roof

The database for pet owners, the microchips for the professionals who implant them, and MyVet for the practices that run the day-to-day care.

It's a complete loop: we make the microchips, vets and breeders implant them, MyVet registers them in the MyPet Database, and pet owners manage their pet's details there for life. Three products, one purpose — protecting pets and helping lost pets home.

What we stand for

Five things we try to keep simple

01

Protect pets

Helping lost pets home is the job. Everything else is in service of that.

02

Be fair

Our products should deliver real value and never rip our customers off. We're transparent about what things cost, and why.

03

Respect your data

Only the right people should ever see your details. We're ICO registered (ZA780352) and we take privacy seriously.

04

Technology for good

A pet database is safety-critical infrastructure. We hold ourselves to a 99.9% uptime standard and invest in keeping it there.

05

A good neighbour

We're committed to ecological sustainability and to doing our part on climate change.
