Have complete peace of mind with Tracer™ Advance microchips

When you take your pet to your local Vet Practice, they will implant the microchip into the scruff of your pet’s neck, in a very quick and simple process, which feels very similar to having their annual vaccination. The microchip is very small, about the size of a piece of long grain rice, and only needs to be implanted once in your pet’s lifetime.

Once your pet has their microchip fitted, the unique microchip number, their details and your contact details will be recorded on the Petlog database - your Vet Practice should do this for you and you can check the details are correct by visiting www.petlog.org.uk or contacting Petlog on 01296 336 579. You must keep these details up-to-date if you move or change your telephone number for example

If your pet does go missing, you should notify all local Vet Practices and contact the Petlog’s dedicated reunification number 01296 737600 so they can mark this on your record. If you have Petlog Premium, they can send out lost pet alerts for you. They can also support you on the ways you can try to find your pet such as who to call or putting up posters.

Whoever finds your pet should take them to the police, a dog warden, rescue centre or a vet practice who can scan them to check they have a microchip and obtain their unique microchip number. If the pet does not have a microchip it will be very hard to return them to their original owner; there is even a risk that they will be rehomed after just 7 days.

Once the unique microchip number has been obtained, the Petlog database will be contacted – they can match the microchip number to your contact information that they hold and advise these details to the authorised caller.

The police, a dog warden, rescue centre or a vet practice will then contact you and let you know your pet has been found and arrangements can be made for them to be returned to you safe and sound
