Beware the cost of changing address

Beware the cost of changing address when you move house. The change is made by you online with no cost to them.

Dear Brian,

Thank you for your feedback and I'm sorry that you appear to have had a negative experience.

As an organisation we are here 24 hours a day, 365 days a year where our team are on hand to assist with reunification.

We receive no external funding and the cost to microchip the pet in the first instance is paid to the vet. Rather than charging an annual or monthly fee like some microchip databases do, we make a small charge when people move instead, as a way to provide our service.

If you had any further queries please do give me a call on 01273 408721.

Kind regards,
Ben

Brilliant and efficient service!!

Such an efficient service! We rang with a query regarding travelling abroad with a family pet registered in another family member’s name, our query was resolved with no problem at all and all our fears allayed, absolutely brilliant 🤗

Clear response to registration query

I called today about registering our newly adopted cat and Gemma was really helpful. She listened to what I was asking and explained the process very clearly. She outlined the options and sent the forms right away. All done simply and efficiently. Many thanks.

Friendly and efficient change of ownership

Thank you, Ben, first for guiding us through the sensitive process of changing the ownership/keepership of a cat that decided to adopt us. Then, with the previous keeper's permission, Ben completed the change process in less than an hour, followed quickly by an email with PETtrac's official registration certificate. This allowed us to register the cat at our local vet by the end of the same day. Many thanks Ben!

Superb service

Cannot recommend this company highly enough! Received fantastic support from Simon with resolving an issue I had with a chip which was implanted into by golden retriever by the charity I adopted him from. The chip was locked with another company and despite attempts to contact them, I was getting nowhere. I contacted Pettrac and was lucky to reach Simon who has persevered with my case, contacting the other company on my behalf, keeping me updated and even contacting DEFRA for further advice. I appreciated Simon’s professionalism and strong communication with me. He is an asset to this business!

Very helpful and proactive staff

Very helpful and proactive staff. I dealt with Richard. He followed everything up and actively contacted me to help with a pet issue I was having.
10 out of 10 for customer service. I would definitely recommend them as a company.

Absolutely shocking

Absolutely shocking ! Went to change my address and they’re asking for £6?! Small charge ? How on earth do you feel a one off change of address is worth £6? Called customer service and after politely questioning the £6 charge , they simply hung up on me ? Absolutely vile service and I’d rather pay £20 to another company now than deal with pettrac. I’ll be switching, goodbye

In terms of the point you made about one of the team hanging up the phone, we would like to investigate this further, because we pride ourselves on our high levels of customer service. Please could you either call me on 01273 408721 or send an email with further details and the microchip number to updates@pettrac.co.uk with the subject "Trustpilot" so that we can investigate this further and discuss your feedback with you.

Kind regards,
Ellen.

My precious Border Collie who went walkabout…

My precious Border Collie who is senior in years, went missing for several hours while staying with a friend.
I contacted PETtrac who was the microchip provider when he was a puppy, explained the situation and Ellen who I spoke to was very helpful & reassuring during his missing hours. PETtrac put out a red alert flag on his status until we had managed to ascertain his whereabouts via notification from the local canine rescue organisation that someone had found him only a short distance away, and had contacted them and that they now had him.
After providing all his legal paperwork to the organisation who had him, my precious Boy who I bred myself was returned.

I kept in contact with PETtrac & vice vers, they kept in contact with me via email during the hours he was missing, to ask for an update and were very quick to respond via emails.

They were very helpful and the actual person I spoke to initially "Ellen" came across as very kind, caring and concerned. Not just a 'log it missing procedure' on their database.

Seriously considering transferring all my other pets over to PETtrac now, who are under a different microchip company, as this experience with them has inspired confidence should one of them ever go missing again! Heavens forbid!
First Class service, caring - compassionate - reassuring and professional 5*****

First of all, I am delighted that you were reunited with your Border Collie. I can imagine that provided much relief when you got him home!

I asked PETtrac the difference in dates regarding my African Grey Parrot stating the parrot was born 10 yrs after it was implanted Date 06/12/1995 and DOB 10/09/2005 which I just found out when I was changing my Address. How can this show such an error and not be noticed at the time of issuing the certificate

Hello Paul,

Many thanks for your review and thank you for your time over the phone this morning.

As discussed, it looks as though the date of birth had been registered incorrectly in 2010 at the time of the microchip being registered to you, however this was amended 4 days later and has been registered with the year of 1995 since then.

When you have contacted us recently to update your address, it sounds as though you had to hand the original paperwork that was issued with the incorrect date of birth on.

I am sorry if this was not made clear at the time of you updating your details with us.

I hope this clears up the confusion. Should you have any other queries though please give us a call on 01273 408721 and I would be happy to discuss this.

Kind regards,
Ben

Excellent Customer Service

I register microchips with Pettrac for two foreign dog rescue charities and I regularly have to contact their lovely customer services team for help. Everyone in the team is so friendly and helpful, extremely knowledgeable and nothing is ever too much trouble. Something which is really important to me is the fact they always respond very quickly to enquiries. I really value the wonderful service which they provide and wouldn’t use anyone else.

Excellent 5* Company.

We are a sighthound rescue and, as such, deal with many microchip companies. I can honestly say that PetTrac is the best of all. Always courteous and helpful. Dogs are registered quickly and easily. Their service is excellent. I only wish the other chip companies were half as efficient and capable as PetTrac are.
