Judie Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Does anyone know how I can register my french animals' microchips here in the UK? I've looked at Petlog but they seem to imply from their site that the only microchips that can be registered are theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 PETrac will add newly imported pets to their database, Judie (see "Moved to the UK" near the bottom.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judie Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Many thanks.I really think it's a bad show that the UK doesn't have a national database. If your animal goes missing (as one of ours has) I'm sure not all the agencies, individuals, vets etc will use a particular database such as PETrac to find an owner.

segonzac19 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Hi there - to register your French microchip in the UK I would advise you to get in touch with Identichip. You can get their details from the website identichip.co.uk or write to them at Anibase, PO Box 33 YORK YO19 5YW. If you enclose all your details, chip no, and pet details they will put the information on their database. This applies to microchips from anywhere in the world. Simple! And they're very friendly and helpful ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judie Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 I've now been in touch with Petlog who have added my cats' details to their database and they are local to me so the animal wardens etc in this area are more likely to use them rather than another company.Thanks.

cooperlola Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I agree about the national database, Judie. Did you find the missing moggie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Judie - see the post about the French cat found in Cosgrove, MK - maybe it's your missing chap?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I hope so Fay. Did you find him/her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Yes, sadly not the same cat... hoping that both pairs of cat-and-families get reunited soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 What a shame. I'll continue to keep everything crossed then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Well, we now know that the system works. We have just returned through the thick snow from collecting the wandering cat (Judie's, not the other one) from a nearby dog warden who was able to trace the microchip.

cooperlola Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Oh woopee! I was getting cramp in my bits!Seriously, what good news. And as you say, great to see that the system does what it should. We have now had 3 cats here which have wandered into our home with no way of tracing the owners. An object lesson.[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
