Benefits for your Practice
Here are just some of the ways in which your veterinary practice
can benefit from using a Petlog Microchip:
• Petlog database supports the details of over 4.2
million pets and their owners and has over 15 years of
experience
• The Lost and Found Service is available 24 hours,
365 days a year, with experienced staff on hand to offer support
and assistance - for Vets Authorised Agents and most importantly
for pet owners
• Petlog Call centre and Database are based in the
UK
• Petlog preserves the integrity of the data
registered; it will not sell it to others
• Petlog manages the Central Microchip Reunification service on
behalf of the Industry.
• The possibility of registering microchips via your practice
management software*
• Petlog is the only independent database and reunification service
in the UK
• Petlog promotes National Microchipping month, now in its seventh
year, which raises awareness of the benefits of microchipping
across the UK and Europe
• Microchipping (with the support of Petlog) builds loyalty between
the pet owner and the veterinary practice and the Petlog Database
allows practices to offer a lifetime service (Microchip and
aftercare service) with confidence.
• Petlog offers a basic lifetime registration (registration and
24/7 365 reunification service for the life of the pet) this is
included in the price of the microchip
• As the drive for compulsory microchipping of pets gathers
momentum, Petlog supports veterinary surgeons in the call to action
"Vets Get Scanning" and has worked in conjunction with the Royal
College of Veterinary Surgeons to produce a set of guidelines on
this issue - which Petlog support - offering assistance to the
Veterinary profession in dealing with ownership issues.

Currently Practices can register the Microchip in a choice of
ways - either manually or online and coming soon the ability to
register directly from practice management systems via Vet XML.
This option offers practices the convenience of registering the
Microchip immediately without any need for paperwork - and the
registration will be activated immediately. This saves time
and paper, as well as eliminating the costs and potential delays
associated with postage.
In addition Practices can take advantage of registering for
online access - should they wish they can reunite pets on line,
thus saving more time and giving further support to the veterinary
profession in the significant role they play in reuniting pets and
owners.
Vet Nurses can show their support and register as
Petlog Premium Nurses to take part in quarterly scanning
competitons and further help the lost and found service.
