Total service failure
I teach Service Marketing at the University of Exeter. I am going to develop my experience with this dreadful outfit into a full blown case study. After 26 days I am no nearer getting my dog’s micro chip transferred to me. This company is (1) unhelpful (2) utterly disinterested (3) non-customer focussed (4) incompetent. Along with the Royal Mail they must rank as one of the worst organizations in the Western Hemisphere.

Dear Richard,
Many thanks for your review and I am grateful for your time over the phone this afternoon.
As discussed, I am sorry for the frustration caused. We pride ourselves on providing efficient and high quality customer service, so I am sorry if you felt let down during this process.
Hopefully I have been able to explain the delay in the transfer process being completed as we are yet to receive the confirmation back from the previous keeper to authorise the change of details. As advised we are taking additional measures to try and chase this up but if we don't receive this, the transfer will be completed after the 28 days.
We take your feedback on board and will continue to try and improve our services moving forward.
If we can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards,
Ben
Easy site
When I brought my 3 dogs they all had been registered to different microchip companies (prior to me owning them).
I had trouble with someone finding out my accounts and had dissolved my details on them. So I sporadically now check up and make sure all the details are correct. I have been able to update details (change of address etc) and find this company and website very easy to navigate with no problems.
In this day and age I love that everything can be done efficiently online and not have to phone up and chase the company.

Dear Mark,
Many thanks for taking the time to leave PETtrac a review, we really appreciate it.
I am really pleased to hear we were able to help.
Apologies if you were not made aware of the charge for changing the microchip across to our database from another. To confirm this charge is just for the transfer over to our database and there are no monthly or annual fees for the registration of the microchip on the 24hr PETtrac Database.
If you need to make any changes to your telephone numbers in the future this can be completed with us free of charge and there is only a small fee for a full change of address if you were to move.
If we can be of any further assistance please get in touch.
Kind regards,
Ben

Great Service
PETtrac were amazing when transferring ownership of my dog. I had filled out the forms and sent by post, a few days later I got an email for payment and that was it. Could not be more simple. Thank you for everything.

Called into the customer support centre to update details. Telephone agent John was a superstar! He was friendly, efficient, and even gave advice on what to expect having updated these details, and how I could make future updates online should it be more convenient for me to do so. Fantastic experience!

Bought my puppy off a friend which was registered with petTrac. My other dog is with another company and that was instantly transferred, not this time ! Up to 28 days ! So you pay a fee (didn't last time ) which is fine but 4 weeks to transfer! My friend received a letter but when phoning today 3 weeks after I paid the transfer fee they tell me they have recieved nothing when I know it was posted back. Its a terrible service. Then told if they don't hear anything by the 25th of this month then it will transfer automatically. Plz if you have a choice go with another service provider! Avoid!

Dear Kim,
Many thanks for your review. I am sorry that you are unhappy with the service.
Unfortunately the microchip cannot be instantly transferred online without verifying with the current registered keeper. When attempting to contact them, we do allow a period of up to 28 days for the current registered keeper to get back to us just in case they were away or uncontactable sooner and they did need to flag with us any issue before changing the microchip over. However, if after this time we have yet to hear back from them, the transfer would be completed. This is only required on the assumption that we have not already received written evidence to support the change of keeper and as soon as we have this or authorisation from the registered keeper directly, this process will be completed.
Please be aware that during this period, PETtrac does hold the details of the new keeper just in case anything were to happen to the animal during this time before the transfer has officially been completed.
I am guessing that for whatever reason, we have yet to receive the written authorisation from the current registered keeper. We do accept this in the post or attached to an email, so I am not sure which method they have sent this to us and the reason why it has not been received.
I would be happy to look into this for you to by making further contact with the current registered keeper to offer an alternative way to provide the authorisation. If you are able to email updates@pettrac.co.uk with the subject ' Trustpilot - FAO Ben' with your pet's microchip number, I will get on this for you right away.
Kind regards,
Ben
What a wonderful company!
I honestly cannot praise these guys enough. I’ve had a difficult and stressful time trying to sort out many issues with trying to travel with my dogs, (thank you Brexit!) misinformation, and unhelpful people leaving me tearing my hair out, and it has been an absolute breath of fresh air to speak to both Ellen and Simon at Pettrac. Genuinely friendly and so helpful and reassuring, I really wish more companies had their attitude and ethic. Thank you so much! You both made my day x.
Pettrac, your people are incredible. Well done!

Located the stolen dog
Thanks for the PETtrack we were able to locate people who tried to change the owner of our stolen dog. Our family can't be more grateful to the service and especially Ben. You saved our dog and reunited her with her family.

This is not what we expect so I was hoping you'd be able to get in touch to provide more information so that I can look into this. Unfortunately, we aren't given any contact information from your Trustpilot review.
If you are able to email updates@pettrac.co.uk with the subject 'Trustpilot Review', I'd be very grateful and will look into this further.

I have had a very good experience with this company; my beloved pet dog had a litter of puppies and I registered all of their microchips with PETrac. The transfer of details to the puppy’s new owners was very easy to navigate. I kept a puppy and it was easy to switch her from my breeder account to an owner account. The staff are very helpful and friendly.

I had a nightmare experience with Petlog and unfortunately I mistakenly left a negative review on PETtrac, Ben called me and resolved my issue (even though it wasn't their issue) I cant recommend PETTrac enough, they are so helpful and their website is really easy to use. Much better service than PETLOG. Thank you so much for sorting everything out.
