Great Post-Registration Service 5⭐️

Whilst updating my home address at the vets, I immediately received a notification from Animal Data advising a search had taken place relating to my pet’s microchip number, and reaching out to offer help & support if the enquiry was due to her being lost or stolen

I now had first hand reassurance that should anything happen to her in the future, Animal Data would be there to help; It also reassured me to know that if any unsolicited searches were to take place for her microchip number, I’d be notified within seconds…. that is great peace of mind

Paul at animal data was patience

Paul at animal data was patience and understanding of my learning difficulties and helping with the registration process. He was generally very helpful and I was able to get the job done with his step by step assistance.

I paid £99 on 29th March 2025 …it says that this fee includes a tracker collar for my pet…It is now 7th April and it had not arrived and there had been no contact from this company despite me sending 2 email enquiries!
I feel like they have my money and that’s all they care about
I will be sending another email asking for a full refund and cancellation of my subscription
It seems that customer service is a thing of the past!
Very unhappy

Bullies and liars that are just after money.

My puppy was microchipped with animaldata before I got her. Since then they've sent multiple bullying and harassing emails saying "(Puppy's Name) Is STILL Not Registered In Your NAME" and that it is illegal for me not to register her and that I will get fined etc etc. Their plans are stupidly expensive compared to others. I tried to register her microchip with another provider but they can't do it while she's still registered with AnimalData who are insisting I pay to have it deregistered. Just a bunch of money grubbing nasties.

Hi Jessica,

We completely understand that pet microchip registration can sometimes feel confusing, so we’d like to clarify a few things.

Your pet’s microchip is currently registered under the previous owner’s details. For legal and safety reasons, this must be updated to your name to ensure your pet can be quickly reunited with you if lost.

This is why emails have been sent to you as we have not received communication from you prior and we like to ensure animals are registered correctly.

We haven’t received any request from you or from Microchip Central about transferring the registration. If you’d like to move to a different database, we’re happy to help facilitate the process—just let us know how you’d like to proceed via email.

Our pricing is in line with other national databases, and in fact, the provider you’re looking at has a higher lifetime cost than we do. However, we respect your right to choose and will do our best to make the process smooth.

We are sorry on this occasion we did not meet your expectations.

AVOID

Unfortunately the owner of this business is a disgusting, hate-filled individual who uses social media to try to bully people, make sweeping (and inaccurate) statements about gender, and generally make people uncomfortable. Best to avoid

Great professional company

Great professional company, can definitely trust holding my data and that of my customers.
Animal Data are always happy to help with any queries I may have.
As a qualified implanter, they send out additional chips quickly, always packaged well.
The portal is good and easy to navigate.
No complaints whatsoever!
