Why Do I Need to Update My Petlog Details When Moving?
If your pet’s microchip is registered with the Petlog database, then it is essential that you remember to update your Petlog details when moving house. This is for a number of reasons.
First, it is now law to have your dog microchipped by the age of 8 weeks and have the correct details registered with the relevant database. If your dog is found and your contact details are out of date, you could receive a hefty fine.
Second, microchipping is only effective if you keep your Petlog contact details up to date. Getting in touch with you if your dog goes missing will be much more difficult if the incorrect address is registered.
How Much Does it Cost to Change Address on Petlog?
So, given that keeping your microchip details up to date is so essential, do you have to pay to change your address on Petlog?
Yes, you do have to pay to change your address with Petlog. However, how much it costs will depend on which payment option you opt for.
Each Petlog microchip change of address incurs an administrative fee of £10 unless at least one of your pets is upgraded to Petlog Premium, in which case there is no charge. In other words, your Petlog Premium change of address is free once you’ve paid the initial upfront cost of £19.95.
So, if you opt for the Petlog Premium plan, you can update your microchip details as many times as you like throughout the lifetime of your pet. You can choose to upgrade to Petlog Premium by:
- Logging into your Petlog online account
- Going to ‘manage pets’
- Clicking on the pet you’d like to upgrade
- Clicking ‘upgrade to Petlog Premium’
Why Do I Have to Pay To Update My Petlog Details?
The cost paid when completing your Petlog microchip change of address includes the cost of the microchip itself, the implanter’s time, and the registration on a government-approved database for the lifetime of the pet.
Additionally, a small percentage of this fee contributes to the database services which includes a 24/7 reunification service for lost and found pets.
How Do I Transfer Ownership On My Petlog Microchip?
If your pet is going to a new home, you will need to transfer keepership to the new owner. To do this, you will need to locate your pet within your online Petlog account and start the transfer of keepership process.
Once done, the new owner will receive details to create their own account and complete the process. The pet will remain visible in your Petlog account until the new keeper has completed the transfer.
How Do I Notify Petlog if My Pet is Missing?
If your Petlog microchipped pet has gone missing, you should update Petlog as soon as possible by following these steps:
- Log into your online Petlog account
- Click on ‘manage pets’
- Click on the pet you’d like to update
- Click on ‘report pet lost’
If, for some reason, you can’t notify us of your missing pet through your online account, you can call Petlog on 01296 737600.
Once your pet has been marked as lost, animal professionals will see these details on your record if they find your pet.
