Choosing who to have your litter Microchipped with shouldn't be something you rush to decide. There are many things that you should consider before choosing a Microchipping Company and while price maybe a huge deciding factor, you should also look at the service that will be offered to your pet owners once you have sold the litter.
Some important things to consider should be:
Communication: The responsiveness of the Microchipping Company is crucial. While it may appear straightforward that a business should answer the phone, it's not always the case. Notably, some Microchipping databases lack a dedicated staff to manage phone inquiries. Many databases function exclusively online, lacking real-time human assistance.
In such cases, when you need support, you might find yourself struggling to connect with a human presence. This can be frustrating and may hinder swift issue resolution or assistance when it's needed the most.
Choosing a company that prioritizes communication and ensures reliable access to knowledgeable staff can significantly improve the overall experience for pet owners. An organization that is readily available by phone and can provide real-time guidance offers a distinct advantage in terms of customer support and peace of mind.
Price: Evaluating the cost structure of the Microchipping Company is essential. Understand the cost of the implantation service and what it encompasses. Additionally, inquire about any potential fees that might be incurred by pet owners and the specific amount.
Beware of databases that offer free registration post-implantation, as they often tack on a £9.99 administration fee when pet owners need to update their information. This seemingly free offer could result in unexpected charges down the line.
A transparent pricing model that includes all potential fees upfront ensures clarity and helps pet owners make informed decisions. Opting for a company that doesn't surprise pet owners with hidden fees or charges for basic services can save both you and your customers from unwelcome financial surprises.
Service Levels: It's imperative to gauge the service levels not only for you as a pet owner but, more crucially, for your pet's new caretakers. In the unfortunate event that a pet goes missing, what level of assistance does the database provide?
Many databases merely record the lost or stolen status of the animal and limit their support to that point. However, this might fall short of the support pet owners require when their beloved companions are lost. In such distressing times, pet owners seek a database that actively aids them in locating their pets and offers essential emotional support.

In the event of a pet going missing, our services extend far beyond just noting the status. We become a steadfast partner, working tirelessly to locate and reunite pets with their owners.

During these trying times, offering both practical help and emotional assistance can make a world of difference. Opting for a database like Animaldata ensures that pet owners are supported through and through, setting your service apart by providing a level of care that goes beyond the norm.
Pet Owner Benefits - What benefits do pet owners receive for being registered with any particular database? Many databases claim to offer owner benefits however, not all of them materialize and this leaves owners feeling disheartened and pointing the blame at the breeder. Ensure the firm you are choosing is reputable and meets your expectations
About Microchipping
A microchip is a small device that is implanted by a vet in between your pet’s shoulders, under the skin, and measures in around 7mm, that’s roughly the size of a grain of rice. The procedure is quick and painless and your pet won’t feel a thing and is so small that they’ll never know it’s there.
A microchip’s purpose is to identify your pet when scanned using the link between the implanted chip, and the database your pet’s details remain on. Think of it a bit like a barcode or a QR code for your pet. Therefore, this can be a quick and useful way of being reunited if your pet goes missing.
How?
- When your lost pet is found, it can be taken to any local vet or animal charity where it will be scanned with a small device for a microchip
- If your pet is microchipped, the scanner will find the microchip number and identify your pet along with a home address and contact number
- Once the vet identifies your pet, they can then contact you and reunite you with your best friend in no time.
