Steps
Contact Petkey to obtain Kennel Management API partner credentials for your boarding/daycare business - self-serve signup is not exposed on the public help page
Review the interactive reference at api.petkey.org/help to identify the available pet and microchip data resources
Call the API to look up an existing microchip registration across the brands Petkey aggregates (Petlink, Avid, HomeAgain, AKC Reunite, 24PetWatch, Peeva, Found Animals, and others)
Register or update a pet's microchip and owner contact record tied to your kennel account through the API rather than the consumer-facing petkey.org registration form
Surface the returned registration status inside your own kennel-management website or check-in workflow
Known gotchas
Petkey aggregates lookups across many microchip brands, but registration/write coverage can vary by manufacturer - a successful 'found' lookup does not guarantee your kennel account can also write to that brand's record
This is a partner-level 'Kennel Management' API distinct from the AAHA Universal Pet Microchip Lookup - it is built for kennel-software integrations and appears to require an approved partner relationship rather than open self-serve registration
