Identibase were very helpful when I called about not being able to access my cats microchip certificate. The lady I spoke to was friendly and was more than happy to help and emailed me through the certificate promptly.

Olivia was super helpful and friendly in arranging for all my pets to be under one account. Also she updated their address and surname in no time at all. I now have peace of mind should anything happen to them. Thank you Olivia for all your help

I have been asked to update my pets details if there was a change as I hadn't logged in for a while. So I logged on and tried to take out my landline number and replace with another mobile number. Apparently they won't do this unless I upgrade, which would work out at £15 per year. At the moment Im on basic which is free. I do not want or need to upgrade, I would just like them to make one amendment. Ive emailed them to tell them that its outrageous to say you have to upgrade to make a a simple deletion & amendment. Absolute shoddy service. I await their reply.....
31.7.26 - have read their reply. Answer me this: Why is it that other microchip companies allow you to change details when necessary free of charge? Ive also read quite a few of your 1*, 2* & 3* reviews, it would seem that we all have the same problem! It seems to me that every review has been answered by "Ben", is Ben "flesh & blood"? or are these "AI" answers that we are getting? Its all very well citing all the so called "legal jargon" which by the way is very confusing, but also being told you have to upgrade to make a simple amendment, comes across as bullying!

I called this afternoon as I was struggling to get my cats details transferred over to my name from her old owner, everyone I spoke to was amazing and the wait on the phone was never long but Daisy (if i remember her name correctly) was absolutely amazing! Considering she only started a 2 months ago she was able to figure everything out, resolve my problem effectively, communicated what the problem was, great amazing customer service and fix everything for me. She’s an absolute stand out star! Thank you so much, Rory and I are very grateful! <3

Require you to enter a £15 per year subscription model in order to do trivial things like update your address, which is illegal under right to rectification under UK and GDPR regulations.
This discourages people from keeping their pet's microchips up to date, thereby making the whole system pointless.
I'd recommend owners go with a free to update service like MyPet instead.

Sometimes you wonder if the microchip is still doing its job.
Peanut had his chip inserted by identibase as a puppy and I am pleased to say it’s still there after 8 years.
I had a health check for him at the vets and the chip bleeped straight away. Vey reassuring to hear

Identibase has been an amazing company for me so far, i did have my boy neutered and chipped a couple of months ago and i’m glad i have the peace of mind knowing i can find him if he gets lost. my cheeky boy loves going out on his harness to eat grass to eat grass, my boy loves his grass but it is very very comforting to know if by chance my boy gets lost by wanting to be cheeky and try and run out his harness or trying to be sneaky and run past me when i’m going out im so comforted to know he’s chipped just incase, and the last time i had a phone call with someone at identibase they were very helpful and very understanding of me and my situation which i’m so thankful that i’m understood

I registered for the Identibase Identialert membership after my cat went missing, as there was no clear way to report a missing pet on their website without joining the membership plan. What they make extremely unclear during signup is that you are agreeing to a 12-month contract.
When I realized this, I immediately emailed to cancel within the cooling-off period. I was told that because I had identified my cat as missing, I had used the service and was barred from canceling—even within the cooling-off window. I followed up by phone to see if a customer service representative could rectify this, but they refused to help.
They provide very little clarity on what you are actually paying for, and the lack of transparency around contract terms feels predatory—especially when pet owners are in a vulnerable, panicked state with a lost pet. Given that pet owners don't choose which microchip company their pet is registered with, being stuck with this service is even more frustrating.
Avoid their paid services if you possibly can.

I had problems checking the migration of my dog's microchip number to Identibase - the system wouldn't let me log in so I rang to try and get some help. I spoke to Luke who was extremely efficient and very helpful and got me logged in within a couple of minutes - thank you again!

New to Identibase and while one of my rehomed cats was already registered and transferring her to me was straight forward. I had several issues trying to add the second cat who needed to be re-chipped.
Identibase staff were very helpful and resolved my issue with speed and politeness and responded to my emails in a timely fashion.
