Every year more than 300,000 treasured pets go missing. Petlog, the Tracer Advance database, handles more and more calls every day reporting lost and found pets.
Pets can go missing for a variety of reasons: they can become scared during the firework season or heavy thunderstorms, wander too far from a new house and being, naturally inquisitive, can easily become lost whilst investigating smells or noises.
Having a microchip implanted is quick, simple and very cost effective. It will give you the peace of mind that, if your pet does become lost, you will have more chance of being reunited faster. You may also avoid the possibility of your pet being rehomed or kept in a shelter.
A: Each Tracer microchip has a unique code which is linked to the national 24-hour Petlog database. The database contains all of your details such as your name, address and phone number. If your pet is found away from home, most vets, animal charities and local authorities will have a scanner to read the Tracer microchip and retrieve your pet’s details. Your pet can then be returned to you safe and sound.
A: Dogs, cats and rabbits are the most commonly microchipped animals, but many others can also benefit from microchipping. Birds, horses, reptiles (such as snakes and tortoises), fish and almost any small mammals can all be microchipped by your local Tracer practice.
A: Once your pet has been microchipped with Tracer Advance, it lasts for life! The microchip itself cannot be tampered with once it is implanted and the registration with Petlog has no expiry date*.
