Bree responded very quickly to my contact details update. It wasn’t urgent but reassuring to know that a swift response is routine in case I am ever in a panic over a lost dog

Would rate as zero stars if I could

Would rate as zero stars if I could, I have tried on multiple emails to obtain a response to update details they hold, and they still persist send passcodes to the out of date email and phone numbers. 24/7 support is definitely not available. A contact number that is answered by a person for customer service would be a start, not to be passed around being told the same thing over and over. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE TO CHIP YOUR PETS as they do not respond

Smart trace has been brilliant.

Smart trace has been brilliant at re-registering a cockatoo for me. Bree has sent me prompt emails to guide me through the process and has answered my questions immediately. I couldn’t be more pleased.

Great product and great value for money

The microchips arrived very quickly, really easy to use and quick, all 7 puppies found it completely painless. Registering the chips was easy too and my scanner picked them up immediately. Excellent product and customer service.

I somehow managed to mix up two chip numbers up meaning two different puppies were assigned the wrong chip number each, as soon as I realised I wrote to Bree and she very quickly reassigned the right chip numbers to the right puppy, disaster averted! thankyou so much Bree.

Hi Smarttrace team

Following up on the cancelled pet ownership transfer for Poppy (Microchip: 933082603130519) on 22 September 2026, could you please confirm if a refund has been processed, and provide the reference number or expected timeframe for the funds to return to my account?
Thanks Valerie

Bree from smart trace sorted out my situation to enable my dog Evie to be rehomed to a new owner, who can actually look after her 24 seven so the dog I loved is now with someone who loves her just the same but can spend every day of the week 24/7. Thanks Bree for sorting this out. Take it easy Paul.

Absolutely awful

Absolutely awful, wish the breeder never used this site. Took over 2 weeks for our data to be transferred over, I've read that it was meant to be free but paid £10, tried to contact asking when the transfer will be done but got ignored on social media after they had read the message and no email reply, not received the puppy pack and have emailed asking about that too and no reply. Have tried to phone but was on hold for over half an hour so hung up, absolute garbage
