Fees for Smart-trace services.

I had a few worries concerning my dogs fees for his microchip with Smart-trace. Luckily I emailed Smart-trace with my concerns and the lady who contacted me back (Joanne) put my mind at rest. Thank you so much Joanne for your prompt response and support. Kindest regards.

Great company to use

Transferring the chip was very straightforward and even with a little hiccup on my side, Bree from customer service was brilliant and got everything sorted. Would highly recommend using SmartTrace

Email enquiry dealt with promptly

Although there seemed to be no way of migrating the telephone system to reach customer services for a non-emergency, I was directed to email Smart Trace. I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email the next morning, have my account change dealt with promptly and easily by Bree. A very nice experience and I am thankful.
