I have used Pettrac microchips for over 9 years in the small cat rescue branch I run and have been delighted with their competent and pleasant approach.Originally microchips were registered by post or telephone but now I am able to register online and it is such a simple process which is important when all is voluntary.A case some years ago when a microchip would not register as already on the system was quickly sorted out by the staff when it was found that a wrong handwritten number had been registered in a dog in England.They organised rescanning of the dog so that was corrected and I was able to continue registration for the cat.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Outstandingly reliable team!

Over the last 10+ Years we have used PETtrac for our microchipping needs and the team have always been very helpful with detail changes (Address/ Contact info etc). They also assisted with the return of my Cat after he went missing for 9 months, where the team provided my contact info to a garden centre that found him late at night!

As a rescue and rehoming centre for dogs and cats it is important that we use a professional and effective database. We would recommend PETtrac not just because their system is straightforward and easy to use but because their customer service is exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble for the team and they are very personable and helpful.

Amazing company

Amazing company, always on hand to help. The database is efficient and really easy to navigate. The chips are cost effective and lovely to use. Having been chipping since they started I have found these to be the best by far.

First rate Company

I work for a Cat Rescue Charity and we use the Pettrac, not only for database searches but for registering our Microchips. It's easy to navigate and simple to register a chip. Whenever I've had a problem (mainly because of an error I've made), it's been rectified quickly. Excellent company

UK PETtrac Database is exemplary

UK PETtrac Database is exemplary. We are a foreign rescue and wouldn't use any other company to register all our dogs with. The team are extremely polite, always helpful, they go above and beyond to explain when help is needed and are all knowledgeable.
Customer Service in all departments is always prompt, and they always answer the phone with an actual person who will then deal with whatever queries we have. Their online system is easy to use and works very efficiently. We would absolutely recommend PETtrac unreservedly.

Brilliant team

Brilliant team. I made a bit of a mistake with trying to change the address on our cat's chip and the team that handled this were fantastic and sorted it all super fast once I realised what I'd done. Knowing our cat is all upto date is super reassuring and really appreciate how friendly and quickly it was handled by Rachel and Callum. Thanks so much!

Hi P G. Many thanks for your review.

We are sorry to hear that you feel this way. PETtrac does not receive any government funding for providing a 24/7 reunification service, so of course this needs to be funded in some way so that you can trust we are always there for you and your pet on the end of the phone.

Unlike some databases systems who have introduced compulsory upgrade charges or in some cases, even monthly or annual fees, PETtrac have tried to keep charges low. We allow pet owners to update their telephone numbers free of charge and there is only a small fee for a full change of address or change of keepership. For those likely to change address on multiple occasions, there is also an optional one off fee to cover change of details for the lifetime of their keepership.

PETtrac will continue to consider ways of keeping charges low whilst maintaining and improving the 24/7 reunification service. We welcome feedback so if you would like to discuss this further, please give us a call on 01273 408721.

Kind regards,
Ben

1) Very slow transfer service with no updates in interim.

2) Careful before buying the upgrade - it doesn't give you the full details unless you go hunting for it on the website first. After upgrade, it transfers you instantly to give engraving details with no transparency or information on what you are getting - so you aren't aware of the full details on other tag options you may want to consider, what the free tag looks like, nor the legal requirements that must be included on the tag. Customer service responded quick but were unhelpful and unwilling to resolve despite immediate contact.

Updated 4/Feb/2022: I've left the original review but changed from 2* to 4*. I had a good phone chat with Ben, the tag issue was discussed and will be resolved, and the 28 days to transfer ownership was explained.

We are a small rescue and have to use many databases for look up/transfer of chips. Some are better than others and PETtrac are one of the best without doubt. Nothing is too much trouble and their advice is clear and easy to follow. Makes our life so much easier, thank you!

Extremely slow service.…

My other dog is with a different database never any issues.
Through no choice of my own I have had to use this service with my new dog. They have so far taken over 3 weeks to change the details over to myself. It still states ‘trying to contact the former keeper’Which is a load of rubbish as the former keepers are my niece in law and nephew, who are yet to receive a request!!!
Update-After the really useless reply I wish I could give 0 stars.
I applied online and the previous keeper applied online yet you are sending a letter. Send an email!!! Get a grip this is so stupid. 28 days when I have the dog, insurance and vet from a family member. Yet you are fleecing customers for a crap service!! Plus I had the pleasure of paying before the transfer. UNPROFESSIONAL!! Speed up your service that we as customers have to pay for!!!

Hello, many thanks for your review.

PETtrac would have sent a letter to the previous registered keeper at the point you made your transfer request, with a deadline of 28 days for them to respond before the transfer is accepted. If they are yet to receive our letter, it may be that this has been lost in the post or that the information we hold for them is not up to date.

If you are able to, please encourage them to contact us directly. Even if they haven't received our letter, they can still confirm to us in writing that they agree to the change of details. If they are able to call us on 01273 408721, we can advise them so that we can get this completed for you.

In the meantime, we will be holding a record of your information against the microchip record, should anything happen so that the information can be used for reunification purposes.

If I can be of any further assistance, please email me your name and contact information to 'updates@pettrac.co.uk' under the subject 'Trust Pilot Review' and I would be happy to give you call.

Kind regards,
Ben
