Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback!

We’re pleased to hear that once you got through to us, Chloe was polite, helpful, and efficient and was able to take care of everything you needed. We’ll certainly make sure your kind comments are passed on to her, as she’ll be delighted to know that her support made such a positive impression.

We are sorry, however, that you had to wait 17 minutes before getting through to a member of the team. We appreciate that this is a significant wait, particularly when you’re calling with something important relating to your pet, and we completely understand how frustrating that can be.

Our contact centre has been experiencing periods of particularly high demand, and our teams are working hard to support as many customers as possible while still giving each conversation the time and attention it deserves. We don’t want customers to feel rushed once they reach us, so our priority is always to provide a thorough and helpful service rather than simply move calls through as quickly as possible.

It’s therefore fantastic to hear that Chloe was able to resolve everything for you once your call was answered. Providing friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient support is exactly what we strive for, and your feedback is wonderful recognition of Chloe’s efforts.

Thank you again for your patience and for taking the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and your support, and we wish you and your pet many happy, healthy, and safe years together.

Migrated from Animal Tracker and the Subscription Only Model Sucks…

Just been migrated from Animal Tracker to Identibase. If I want to make any changes such as address or phone number I am now forced in to a subscription whereas my previous account with Animal Tracker offered a one off payment for changes. How are people supposed to maintain their contact details when there's a annual charge and no other option?!
Edit: apparently my benefits have been transferred, they haven't.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear that you have concerns about the way your Animal Tracker account has transferred across to Identibase, and we’d like to provide some clarification.

If you previously purchased a one-off premium subscription through Animal Tracker, we can reassure you that this has been honoured following the migration to Identibase. You have not lost the benefit of a service you had already paid for.

The migration itself has also been designed to work in the same way as your Animal Tracker account did previously. The services, account arrangements, and benefits that applied to your Animal Tracker account have been carried across as part of the migration, rather than requiring customers to start again or purchase something they had already paid for.

We appreciate that moving from one database to another can naturally lead to questions, particularly when the website or branding looks different. However, we want to reassure customers that Identibase is operating the migrated Animal Tracker accounts in accordance with the arrangements that applied to them previously.

We’ve also checked to see whether you have contacted us to discuss your concerns, but we’re unable to see any previous contact from you regarding this particular issue. We would genuinely welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly, as we may be able to clarify exactly what you are seeing on your account and explain how your previous Animal Tracker service has transferred across.

Our Customer Care team will be more than happy to go through everything with you and answer any questions you may have. We want to make sure you have a clear understanding of your account and the services available to you.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback. We hope you’ll give us the opportunity to clarify matters for you and provide the reassurance you’re looking for.

Warm regards,

Wanting me to pay for the veterinary…

Wanting me to pay for the veterinary practices error. The practice put my father down as the owner as well as a Miss. Also used my parents address for my cars address despite her never living there or been owned by my dad. I have emailed to request this be corrected with the correct name and address. They want me to pay to get this corrected, probs ly because it's apparently not that simple I must pay the wages of DEFRA.

Could you explain what the feeling is for?

Can you explain why I should be the one to pay the fee for the practices error.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear about your frustration, particularly if the information was originally entered incorrectly by the veterinary practice. We completely understand why you would want this corrected.

However, where a pet is currently registered in somebody else’s name, we cannot simply treat this as a straightforward name or address change. As a DEFRA-compliant microchip database, we have responsibilities to ensure that changes to registered keeper details are legitimate and properly verified.

If we simply accepted a request from someone saying that another person’s details had been entered incorrectly, without carrying out any checks, we could potentially remove or alter somebody else’s registration without their knowledge. This is why we have to carry out appropriate due diligence.

Depending on the circumstances, this can include verifying the identity of the person requesting the change, establishing the circumstances surrounding the existing registration, requesting supporting information where appropriate, contacting or giving the existing keeper an opportunity to respond where necessary, and ensuring that the change is properly recorded and auditable. If there is a refusal or dispute, further investigation may also be required.

This is why the process you have been advised of is a transfer of keepership, rather than simply changing a name and address.

We would also like to clarify that the fee is not a charge for DEFRA or DEFRA staff. Identibase is a private, DEFRA-compliant microchip database, and the fee relates to the administration and work involved in processing a transfer of keepership. This includes the verification, investigation, correspondence, record amendments and other administrative work that may be required to ensure the transfer is completed correctly and compliantly.

We appreciate that, if the veterinary practice made an error when originally registering the pet, you may feel that you should not be responsible for any resulting cost. However, the database cannot simply assume that an existing registration is incorrect and remove another person from the record without carrying out the appropriate checks. Our responsibility is to protect the integrity of the database and ensure changes are made safely.

If you believe the veterinary practice was responsible for the incorrect information being submitted, we would also recommend raising this directly with them. They may be able to provide an explanation or supporting information that can assist with the process.

We’re more than happy to review your individual circumstances and explain exactly what is required. Please contact our Customer Care team and we can look into the record and guide you through the appropriate process.

We hope this helps explain why this is not simply a case of changing a name and address, and why the necessary checks are important for protecting pets, keepers and the integrity of the database.

Warm regards,

Ben

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review!

We’re delighted to hear that you appreciate the way we keep in touch with you and your partner to make sure your cats’ information remains accurate and up to date. Keeping microchip records current is incredibly important, so it’s wonderful to know that these reminders give you reassurance that we genuinely care about the wellbeing and safety of your pets.

It’s fantastic to hear that your cats have been microchipped with us since they were just 10 weeks old. They’ve clearly been part of the Identibase family for a long time, and we’re really pleased to have been able to support you throughout their lives.

Our regular reminders are intended to encourage pet owners to check their contact details and make sure everything remains correct, particularly as circumstances can change over time. Having accurate information linked to a microchip can be incredibly important if a pet ever becomes lost, as it gives those trying to help them the best possible chance of getting in touch with their keeper and helping them return home.

Your kind comments mean a great deal to the whole team. Knowing that our communication makes you feel that we care about your cats and their safety is exactly the reassurance we want to provide.

Thank you again for your wonderful feedback and for continuing to trust Identibase with your cats’ microchip records. We wish you, your partner, and your cats many more happy, healthy, and safe years together.

I think I’ve be done.

I had my cat chipped a few days ago, and just went online to register it.
The thing is, when I put in the Chip number, it came up that it was already registered, and it gave a small number of the characters from the email address of the person it was already registered to.
Various possibilities spring to mind as to what’s going on:
1) The cat was already chipped (even though the previous owner said it wasn’t; I couldn’t find any indication of any wound or anything; and they wouldn’t let me be with the cat when it was chipped).
2) They reused a chip from a previous deceased pet.
Either possibility is dodgy to say the least, and one way or another, I think I’ve been done.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We're very sorry to hear about the confusion you've experienced, and we completely understand why this situation has raised questions.

From what you've described, it sounds like there may have been a misunderstanding regarding the role of Identibase. We are the DEFRA-compliant microchip database responsible for securely storing and maintaining pet microchip registration records, but we are not the organisation that implants microchips. The microchip itself is supplied and implanted by a veterinary practice or other authorised implanter, so we are unfortunately unable to comment on what took place during your appointment or why the microchip was presented as already registered.

There are a number of legitimate reasons why a microchip may already appear on a database, and it does not necessarily indicate that anything untoward has occurred. Without reviewing the specific microchip record, it would be inappropriate for us to speculate on the reason.

If you give our Customer Care team a call with the full microchip number, we would be more than happy to investigate the history of the chip, explain what we can see on the record, and answer any questions you may have. We can also advise you on the appropriate next steps should anything need further investigation.

We're sorry that your first experience after having your cat microchipped has been confusing, and we'd really welcome the opportunity to clarify the situation for you. We hope you'll get in touch so we can help resolve your concerns.

Warm regards,

Excellent, thorough Customer Service

The call handler was courteous, friendly and informative but, most of all, he was thorough, making sure he was finding the best answers to my questions, with the information available. Much appreciated.

We’ll be sure to share your lovely feedback with the advisor and the wider team. Knowing that his patience, thoroughness, and commitment to finding the right answers were appreciated will mean a great deal to him.
