The three plans

At a glance

Prices are per household, not per pet. For the full feature-by-feature table, see the pricing page.

MyPet Basic

Free£4.99 for a non-MyPet chip

Your pet on the Defra-compliant register, with updates and transfers free for life. This is the part the law cares about, and it never expires.

MyPet Protected

£16a year, or £2.50 a month

Everything in Basic, plus the lost-pet toolkit — emergency contacts, scan alerts, Lost Pet Link and local alerts — for every pet in your home. Database transfers are included.

MyPet Pampered

£32a year, or £5 a month

Everything in Protected, plus a free Smart Pet Tag for every pet and MyPet SafeCall, so a finder can reach you without ever seeing your number.

Paying yearly saves 46% on either premium plan. Basic is free, always.

Features explained

What the names actually mean

The bits that sound like jargon, in plain terms.

Protected & Pampered

Lost Pet Link

A single web page for your missing pet that you can send to anyone — neighbours, a local Facebook group, the vet down the road. It shows what a finder needs and nothing more.

Protected & Pampered

Scan alert

The moment a vet or rescue scans your pet's chip, your phone tells you. You often know your pet is safe before anyone manages to ring you.

Protected & Pampered

Pet Vault

Somewhere to keep vaccination cards, insurance documents and medical notes, so they're on your phone at the vet instead of in a drawer at home.

Protected & Pampered

Change of database

If your pet's chip sits with another provider, we move it across and deal with them for you. Included on both premium plans; £12 per pet on Basic.

Pampered only

Smart Pet Tag

A tag for the collar that anyone can tap with a phone — no app, no scanner. A microchip needs a vet; a tag works on the pavement. Replacements are free.

Pampered only

MyPet SafeCall

When the tag is tapped, the finder gets a temporary number that reaches you by call or text for 24 hours. They never see your real number, and it stops working afterwards.

Good questions

The honest answers

Is the free plan really free, or free for a while?

Free, permanently. Registering a MyPet microchip costs nothing, and updating your details or transferring your pet to a new owner stays free for life on every plan. A non-MyPet chip that isn't on a database yet is a one-off £4.99. There is no paywall on your pet's record.

Do I pay per pet?

No. Protected and Pampered cover every pet in your household on one plan. Two pets on Pampered works out at £16 each for the year; three, under £11.

Do I need a paid plan to be legal?

No. UK law requires your dog or cat to be microchipped and registered on a compliant database with current details. MyPet Basic does all of that, free. The paid plans are about getting them home faster, not compliance.

Can I change plan later?

Any time, in both directions, and cancelling never touches your pet's core record. See full pricing →
