Abstract: An Internet based animal tracking system that allows owners of an animal and other authorized users to securely input and/or access animal records. Once the animal's record is entered, it may be securely accessed by government entities and/or veterinary representatives for the purpose of tracking the animal's location, ownership, and other data related to the said animal. Record keeping is maintained by a secure Internet server. The method allows regulatory government agencies to trace the historical ownership, geographic locations, and other records of an animal.
