Breeder transfer issue

Breeder Has Not Transferred the Microchip: Next Steps

Contact the breeder first if possible and ask them to complete the database's transfer process. If that does not resolve it, identify the database and contact its support team with your purchase information.

Keep these records

  • Purchase contract
  • Breeder receipt
  • Collection date
  • Vaccination or vet records
  • Any messages confirming the sale or handover
PetChipHelp is an independent guidance service. We can help identify the database and explain the process, but official microchip records are changed by the database provider that holds the registration.

Check which database appears to hold the record, then go straight to the right provider.
