Petchip Reviews 267

I also got a scam email about paying to ensure my pet's info remained accessible in the database. I was waiting until our next vet visit to ask about it, but due to my "inbox zero" mentality, I decided to look them up. Super glad I did, and I'll warn my vet's office too. I would really like to know where the breach is! Is this a local thing, or international? We adopted our pet from the SPCA and petchip.info had her previous shelter name.

SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!!! I am trying to get money back, I forgot we don't pay every year. They had all my and my dog information: address phone number, email and full description of our dog and registration number.

Demand payment to renew pets microchip else the pet will show as "unregistered".

It's worrying how much information that have about me and my cat. There must be a data breach somewhere

Complete scam!!
Beware that pet microchips do not go out of date. I have no idea how they got my pets information but this is an utter scam. Beware!!

Thank goodness for trustpilot re-registration is nonsense don't know how they got all the information so beware people & don't reply

this company is a SCAM i don't know how they got my dog's microchip information it's time some one had this site taken down (Google) ?? i received Email's telling me the chip was out of date They wanted £ 18.95 to renew it ? the microchips don't go out of date

I received an email from this company which had my name address and phone number also it had my pet's name, sex (neutered male) and date of birth! All of which were correct. I am aware that chips are life long and do not need to be renewed but contacted my vet as I am concerned as to how they got this info. Total scam site...

We got several of our pets microchipped and it was costly. Now several years later I get a email that her chip# will not longer be associated with me. Basically owner unknown, unless we pay a fee. I thoughtbit was a lifetime initial registration. Plus the email doesn't state hoe long the the payment is for . A true lifetime, a year, monthly. No I did not pay it. Felt it was a scam.

They have now changed their web-address to petchip.network - same deceptive operation as before.

I received an email stating that I needed to pay to keep my pet registered. Although my other pet has had no such information provided to me. Do I have to pay? I thought it was free.

Scam !! Trying to charge £29 to renew your pet chip. Email looks convincing but microchips are life long and do not need renewing

This company is a total scam. Concerned that they had so much information in the email that makes it look genuine (clearly a data breach has occured). Don't be caught out. I spoke to the company that holds my cat's registration and it is still active.
I have reported this company to action fraud and forwarded the email to report phishing at UK government.

Yep. They're still going strong. Got their scam email yesterday, thought it was odd and therefore checked them out. Why can't they be stopped?

Just received an email stating my dog's microchip needed to be reregistered. I contacted her registered microchip company who said it was for life and all was OK. Petchip are obviously scammers and I have reported the email but still got quite a fright.

I rec’d an email saying my dogs chip is ‘unregistered’ I got 2 dogs from the same litter so thought it was strange - rang the chip company they told me it was a scam!! If I didn’t have 2 dogs I wouldn’t of questioned it

Please people contact PETLOG and tell them there must of been a massive DATA breach as they must of got our pets chip details from a database and it has to be the people the chip details are registered to!! They have ALL our personal details as well as all our pets details - MASSIVE breach of GDPR!!!

Paid up then read here it was a scam. Luckily I contacted PayPal, and they said the refund is on its way.

I "registered" my dog for £18. A year later they took another £18. I did some investigating and found that she was registered with petchip but not on any UK data base, I managed to put a block on any further payments.

SCAM - SCAM - SCAM

Rec'd an email today telling me "DIESEL's microchip number 985121014914431 will soon display "unregistered animal" in all of our affiliated websites and databases."

Sadly our much loved akita DIED several years ago so I will not be paying any fee to reactivate his microchip.
