Petlog for Vet Practices
Why choose a microchip registered on the Petlog database?
Petlog provides support and an all-inclusive service for pet owners and veterinary practices, Petlog is committed to supporting the Microchipping industry and will continue to provide assistance in any way it can to the veterinary profession. It is the only independant UK Microchipping registration and reunification service.
"We are committed to using Petlog as the database is the key to the reunification process and it is so often forgotten. Understanding where your clients' data is being stored, how it is being used and what service levels are provided is just as important as a high quality chip and scanner. The microchip package should be considered as a three-pillar model: Chip, Scanner and Database and not just the chip alone."
Caroline Braidwood, Product Manager, Bayer plc
Petlog, the Kennel Club's Pet Identification Service has been working in partnership for over 15 years with 10 microchip suppliers like Tracer and Pet ID. All microchips benefit from lifelong registration to Petlog's national database which supports details of over four million pets and their owners. The database is accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Petlog is also easy and convenient for your practice. You can register newly microchipped pets through a range of channels; online at tracer-microchips.co.uk, via your Practice Management System or by post in the supplied pre-paid envelopes. Owners can upgrade to Petlog Premium for a one-off fee of just £10, giving added benefits including unlimited free updates to their contact details.
