‼️SCAM ALERT FOR PET OWNERS ‼️

You may receive an email from Petchip.network advising that your pet’s microchip registration has expired and you need to pay for it to be updated – PLEASE IGNORE. THIS IS A SCAM. The email comes with a link taking you to a page showing your pet’s name, microchip number, your contact phone number and looks very convincing. PLEASE IGNORE. 🚩

There is a list of approved databases on gov.uk: Get your dog or cat microchipped - GOV.UK. Typically you would only pay a fee for first registering your pet or if you contact the company to update your details.

It is important to keep your pet’s microchip contact details up-to-date including if you move address or change phone number/ email address. Please contact your microchip provider direct to update your details.
