My Vets Said I Should Get a Free Registration?

Numerous veterinarians offer complimentary Microchip Registration to clients when the microchip has been implanted at their clinic. This is primarily due to cost considerations, which can often be substantially higher compared to our registration fees.

On average, veterinarians charge £25 - £35, along with consultation fees, for microchipping animals. Following the microchipping procedure, you would receive free registration with the database partnered with your veterinarian. While many of these databases offer free registration, there might be an administration fee if you need to update your contact information. Additionally, the services provided by other databases are quite limited.

Many breeders are hesitant to rely on local veterinarians due to their associated charges. Typically, microchipping fees can amount to £100 - £250 per litter for a breeder. Opting for an independent implanter can save breeders over 50% of the cost. 

Consequently, many breeders prefer the services of local implanters.

In certain cases, breeders might forego microchipping their litters due to the high costs charged by veterinarians, leaving this responsibility to the new pet owners. 

This practice is not only against the law, but it also increases the chances of animals going missing without being reunited with their rightful owners. Moreover, pet owners who take this route will eventually face elevated costs by engaging a local vet.

To maintain affordable microchipping and reduce the number of unchipped animals, we supply FREE microchips to local implanters and sustainable veterinarians. This enables implanters to perform the procedure at a fraction of the cost charged by veterinarians. Consequently, our business model isn't favored by many vets, as it diverts business by offering budget-friendly implants.

We then levy charges on pet owners to register their information associated with the microchip, akin to the practices of the Kennel Club. These fees cover database maintenance and our services in case your pet is lost or stolen.

Unlike other databases, our approach goes beyond simply recording your missing pet's details. We actively assist you in locating and retrieving your pet. Our personalized service is designed to provide reassurance and support in your quest to find your pet. We maintain consistent communication, updating you every other day on our progress and any sightings of your beloved animal.
