Earlier this week we advised pet owners who have microchips registered with HomeSafe ID that they should act immediately to register their pet with a new database.
Global Micro Animal Registry is offering free re-registration to affected pet owners - https://www.globalmicro.com.au/homesafe-re-registration/
It appears HomeSafe ID are closing their website, which means you, the ranger and vet will no longer have access to your pet's information if needed.
Further advice for impacted consumers:
🐶Review the certificate you received when your pet was first registered, as this will display the microchip registration number and which database they are registered in.
🐶 If you're unsure - search petaddress.com.au using the microchip number to check which database they are registered in.
🐱 If you're unable to find the certificate - visit your local vet, who will be able to scan your animal and provide you with the microchip number and advise you of the database holding those details.
🐱 If the pet is registered with HomeSafe ID or Pet Electronic Tags (P.E.T.S) Pty Ltd, the microchip will need to be registered again with a new registration service.
🐱 People with rescue pets are particularly encouraged to check who they are registered with.
