How to Track a Lost Dog with Microchipping
1. Make Sure the Microchip is Registered with NMR
First and foremost, your dog’s microchip must be registered with NMR. If you haven't done this yet, visit www.nmr.pet and register the chip number along with your contact details.
2. Report Your Dog as Lost on the NMR Platform
If your dog goes missing, log into your NMR account and mark your pet as “Lost.” This does two things:
Flags your pet’s status in the national database
Notifies nearby shelters, vets, and rescues to be on alert
NMR also lets you upload a photo and description to help identify your dog more easily.
3. Activate Alerts to Local Vets and Shelters
When you report a lost dog, NMR can send automated alerts to registered animal shelters, veterinary clinics, and rescue organizations in your area. This ensures that anyone scanning your dog’s microchip will be instantly directed to your contact info.
4. Track Inquiries and Reunification Leads
Once your dog is marked as lost in the NMR system, you can monitor any scan or inquiry activity linked to your pet’s chip number. If someone finds and scans your dog, you’ll get notified instantly.
🔔 Some NMR plans include real-time email or SMS alerts—be sure to enable these for faster updates.
5. Keep Your Info Updated
Even after your dog is found, it’s essential to keep your NMR profile updated with:
Current phone numbers
Address
Emergency contact
Updated pet photo
That way, your dog is always protected—even if they wander ag
